<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>The 23<span
style="vertical-align: super; font-size: smaller;">rd</span>
International ACM Conference on 3D Web Technology</b>
(Web3D 2018), organized in cooperation with the Web3D
Consortium, will address an extensive range of research,
development, and practice related to web-based interactive
3D applications. The goal of the conference is to share
innovative and creative ideas that enable development of 3D
applications for a wide range of 3D environments, including
the web, mobile as well as virtual and augmented reality (VR
& AR) setups. Works related to various application
domains, including e-commerce, education, cultural heritage,
entertainment and infotainment, social media, tourism,
medicine, military, industry and construction (and many
others) are welcome. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> This year’s theme <b>"3D
Everywhere"</b> emphasizes the global scope and impact of
current and future 3D technology. Web3D wants to foster and
support the increasing development, use, and utility of 3D
technologies for application developers, domain experts, as
well as for end users. This includes the creation of
interactive 3D content, robust and versatile 3D content
representation and delivery standards, as well as
presentation and interaction techniques enabling development
of user-friendly 3D applications.<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:5px; text-align: justify;"> The main
topics of the conference include, but are not limited to:</p>
<ul style="margin-top:0px; padding-left:16px">
<li>Technologies and methods for WebVR, WebAR, and mixed
reality </li>
<li>Novel multi-modal 3D interaction paradigms, including
spatial UI, gesture, and voice </li>
<li>Online visualization and exploration, e.g., for sci-vis,
info-vis, and 3D object repositories </li>
<li>Novel 3D content creation and modelling techniques,
tools, and workflows, including semantic and AI techniques
</li>
<li>Algorithms for shape modeling, compression,
optimization, analysis, and processing </li>
<li>3D content acquisition, e.g., scanning, reconstruction,
etc. </li>
<li>Rendering of large-scale models, animations, and virtual
worlds, including cloud-based rendering and other services
</li>
<li>Streaming, compression, and transmission of 3D content,
in particular in mobile networks </li>
<li>Collaboration in multi-user virtual environments </li>
<li>Novel APIs, toolkits, and frameworks for 3D web and
associated application domains </li>
<li>Virtual humans, avatars, and complex reactive characters
</li>
<li>Motion capture for composition and streaming of
behaviors and expressions </li>
<li>Annotation, metadata, hyperlinking and semantic web for
3D objects and scenes </li>
<li>Visual analytics based on 3D web technologies </li>
<li>Diffusion and adoption of 3D web technologies </li>
<li>Novel interactive 3D web applications in all areas and
sectors, e.g., entertainment, education, training,
cultural heritage, medicine, military, smart-manufacturing
/ industry 4.0, information visualization, scientific
visualization, geo-visualization, building information
modeling (BIM), and architecture. </li>
</ul>

target="_blank"><b>TUTORIALS</b> are an opportunity to
present introductory and advanced applications of 3D web
technologies to students and to experienced practitioners.
Tutorial subjects can include practices for authoring
interactive 3D scenes and in using 3D graphics in diverse
application areas. Especially welcome are tutorials in the
use of open-source software and web applications, which
can be presented in hands-on sessions at the conference. </a></p>
