The annual ACM SIGGRAPH Web3D Conference is a major event which unites researchers, developers, entrepreneurs, experimenters, artists and content creators in a dynamic learning environment. Attendees share and explore methods of using, enhancing and creating new 3D Web and Multimedia technologies such as WebGL, X3D, VRML, Collada, MPEG family, U3D, Java3D, and other technologies. The conference also focuses on recent trends in interactive 3D graphics, information integration and usability in the wide range of Web3D applications from mobile devices to high-end immersive environments.

This year’s event will be located in Heraklion, Crete.

Conference Highlights:
– Papers and Research topics related to current Web-based 3D Graphics.
– Tutorials and Technical workshops on 3D technology
– Panel Discussions on Trends and Future of 3D on the Web
– Web3D city modeling competition winners presentation
– Web3D Showcase – Lighting talks showcasing innovative 3D Work
– Opportunities to meet and network with 3D graphics experts and leaders
– and of course the opportunity to experience the beautiful Island of Crete!

The 3rd experiment is scheduled for this Saturday July 20th.  This is a role play event set in a fictional country of Atropia and the players can choose to be either American soldiers or citizens of the town of Brentville.  The event takes place approximately 10 years from now after a war in the caucuses region near the Caspian Sea.

The event is open to the public and we have the system set up to accommodate more than 150 simultaneous role players.  The purpose of the role play is to give the users something meaningful to do for the two hours that we monitor the performance of the network and servers while we load them.

Live Exercise – taken at a live training event.
