===============================================
The Web3D 2020 Conference is exploring 3D in a Hyperconnected World!  Web3D is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year.  As we see an explosion of interactive 3D content on the Web with WebGL now widely supported by browsers, tools such as X3D, X3DOM, X_ITE, three.js, glTF, and A-Frame are widely being adopted. Anyone can create Web3D content for virtually any domain or application, including commercial game engines such as Unity, Unreal, and Castle Game Engine as they offer ways to integrate open specifications and Standard formats in their applications.

This year’s conference has been organized by Web3D Consortium and Korea Computer Graphics Society, and they decided early in 2020 as the pandemic gripped the world to move the conference to a virtual setting and with the goal of pioneering connectedness in the new normal.  The team believes the Conference can provide the entire 3D computer graphics community with a quality program and offer exposure to this discipline when we work together as a community to collaborate and innovate on Web3D initiatives. The Conference is working and reaching out to connect to every SIGGRAPH community and enabling them to expose 3D, via the Web.   Information about the Call for Papers and Posters can be found at: http://2020.web3dconference.org and http://www.web3d.or.kr

Important Dates:

     July 27: Deadline for authors’ submission of papers (manuscripts for review, not just abstracts) to EasyChair; with no extensions. The paper review process starts immediately
     Sept 7: Final decision on acceptance/rejection of papers and posters, with notification of authors.
     Sept 21: Deadline for authors of accepted papers and posters to submit final ‘camera-ready’ manuscripts.
     November 13-17: Virtual Conference
