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>PAPERS</b> presenting original work
in 3D web <b>research</b> and <b>application</b> may
be submitted in a long or short form (up to 9 or 4
pages). Submissions will be peer-reviewed. Accepted
papers will be included in the <b>ACM Digital Library</b>
and submitted to major indexing services, such as <b>Web
of Science</b>, <b>DBLP</b>, and <b>Scopus</b>. </a></p>
<p><a style="color:black; text-decoration:none;

href="http://www.web3d2018.org/submissions/posters/"
target="_blank"><b>POSTERS</b> present results of <b>ongoing</b>
or <b>recently completed</b> work in 3D web research
and application. The poster format offers the
opportunity to interactively present and discuss
interesting results to the Web3D community. Posters
should be submitted in the form of <b>abstracts</b>
(2 pages), which after acceptance will be published in
the conference proceedings. </a></p>

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>
<p><a style="color:black; text-decoration:none;
text-align:justify;"
