Introduction and Topics, Deadlines and Program Committee

1. Introduction and Topics

Communicability is the cornerstone for the success of the interaction among human beings and the technological (r)evolution in multimedia devices in which a huge part of humankind is immersed. In these devices there is a convergence and intersection of disciplines deriving from the formal and factual sciences. The main goal is to improve the interaction process with the new technologies on a daily basis.

Since its origins computer graphics has always been involved in the global village foreseen by McLuhan and has accompanied all the stages of the technological (r)evolution in the multimedia computer sector and telecommunications.Today the variegated devices of massive consumption of microcomputers, deriving mainly from the entertainment sector, have already entered the era of tridimensional vision without using additional peripherals such as specialized glasses or virtual reality helmets. Evidently a new horizon is opening for on-line and off-line multimedia content.

In the current space of the symposium we intend to set up a context of exchange of experiences, projects in their way of development and reflexion about theoretical aspects with the purpose of drawing guidelines for the future in the middle and long run. Consequently, the discussion will be focused on – but mot limited to – the following main issues:

:: Audio-visual Communication
:: Auditory Contents of Multimedia
:: Augmented Realities
:: CAD
:: CAE
:: CAM
:: Cinema 3D
:: Cloud Assistance in Multimedia Content Distribution
