Papers are solicited for, but are not limited to, the following topics:

• Applications of stereoscopic displays. We are especially interested in novel applications and in user trials of existing applications. Application areas include scientific visualization, medical imaging, teleoperation, telepresence, industrial inspection, communications, entertainment, games, broadcast/cable TV, training, CAD/CAM, molecular modeling, and advertising.
  
  
• Advances in true three-dimensional display technologies:
  • autostereoscopic displays, super and high-density multi-view displays, volumetric displays, mobile 3D displays, stereoscopic projection, mobile 3D displays, electro-holographic, and other 3D displays.
  • methods for recording, playback, transmission, and processing of stereoscopic video.
  • stereoscopic computer graphics and stereoscopic gaming
    
    
• Stereoscopic 3D digital cinema including production, presentation, and case studies
  
  
• Digital stereoscopic imaging
  • stereoscopic and multi-view computer graphics
  • image processing and compression of stereoscopic imagery
  • stereoscopic image synthesis: 2D to 3D conversion, depth map generation, and multi-viewpoint generation
  • transmission standards supporting digital stereoscopic images
  • software and hardware issues for computer display of stereoscopic images
    
    
• 3D image acquisition and generation techniques
  • single- and multi-lens camera systems
  • motion parallax, volume projection, graphical construction, stereoscopic computer graphics, computational photography, and other stereoscopic image generation techniques
  • guidelines for stereoscopic content development
    
    
• Systems design and integration of stereoscopic displays for teleoperation, telerobotics, telesurgery, augmented reality, virtual reality, consumer and professional broadcast, mobile infrastructure, game systems, including content delivery and interaction technologies
  
  
• Human factors issues in stereoscopic display systems
  • task performance comparisons between stereoscopic and non-stereoscopic displays
  • side benefits of stereoscopic display techniques
  • evaluation methodologies (e.g., depth-acuity measurement) and task-performance testing
  • benefits for processing and compression of stereoscopic images
  • User-interface issues in stereoscopic display system design
  • perceptual and cognitive guidelines for stereoscopic displays
  • 3D remote manipulation and control of viewpoint
  • ortho-stereo, hyper-stereo, and the geometry of 3D perceptual space
    
    
• Standards for stereoscopic imaging.

Dates of Importance:

• Present a paper to an international audience
• Receive feedback from your peers
• Hear the latest research
• Network with your colleagues.

• Publish your work - fast. Your work will appear in the SPIE Digital Library 2 to 4 weeks after the meeting.
• Contribute to and gain visibility in the most extensive resource available for optics and photonics content - 250,000+ journal articles and proceedings manuscripts
  
• Proceedings of SPIE-IS&T Electronic Imaging are referenced in leading scientific databases and indices
• SPIE Digital Library has the highest number of citations for patent applications in optics and photonics.

Abstract Submission

• An author or coauthor (including keynote, invited, and solicited speakers) will register at the reduced author registration rate, attend the meeting, and make the presentation as scheduled. (Current IS&T and SPIE Members receive an additional discount on the registration fee.)
• Authors and coauthors attending the meeting must obtain funding for their registration fees, travel, and accommodations, independent of IS&T and SPIE, through their sponsoring organizations before submitting abstracts.
• All clearances, including government and company clearance, have been obtained to present and publish. If you are a DoD contractor, allow at least 60 days for clearance.
• IS&T and SPIE are authorized to circulate your abstract to conference committee members for review and selection purposes.
• Accepted abstracts may be published with the printed Final Programs or on a CDRom for distribution at the meeting. Please submit only 250-word abstracts that are suitable for publication.
• Please also submit a 100-word abstract suitable for early release. If accepted, this abstract text will be published prior to the meeting in online or printed programs promoting the conference.
• A full-length manuscript (8-12 pages) for any accepted oral or poster presentation (including keynote, invited, and solicited presentations) will be submitted for publication in the SPIE Digital Library, printed conference Proceedings, and CDRom.

• Have all contact information (full names, affiliations, addresses, phone numbers, and emails) for your coauthors ready.
• Only original material should be submitted.
• Abstracts should contain enough detail to clearly convey the approach and the results of the research.
• Commercial papers, papers with no new research/development content, and papers where supporting data or a technical description cannot be given for proprietary reasons should not be submitted, and will not be accepted for presentation in this conference.

Review, Notification, and Program Placement

• To ensure a high-quality conference, all abstracts will be reviewed by the Conference Chair/Editors for technical merit and suitability of content. Conference Chair/Editors reserve the right to reject for presentation or publication any paper that does not meet content or presentation expectations.
• Conference Chair/Editors are expected to assess manuscripts for technical merit, suitability of content, and clarity. The process for assessing manuscripts for publication in SPIE-IS&T Electronic Imaging proceedings is managed differently by chairs/editors of different conferences. Conference Chair/Editors may require one or more manuscript revisions before approving publication, and reserve the right to reject for publication any paper that does not meet content or quality expectations or manuscript requirements. SPIE-IS&T Electronic Imaging decision on whether to publish a manuscript is final.
• Applicants will be notified of abstract acceptance and sent manuscript instructions by e-mail no later than 8 September 2008.
• Final placement in an oral or poster session is subject to the Chairs' discretion. Instructions for oral and poster presentations will be sent to the person marked as contact author by e-mail.

• Full-manuscripts will be Chair/Editor-approved and published in the Proceedings of SPIE-IS&T Electronic Imaging and in the SPIE Digital Library.
• Manuscript instructions will be e-mailed to the person marked as contact author for the paper and are also available from the "Information for Authors" link on the conference website.
• Authors must be authorized to transfer copyright of the manuscript to SPIE-IS&T, or provide a suitable publication license. Authors reserve the right to expand and revise the manuscript for future publication.
• Only papers presented at the conference will be published in the conference Proceedings and SPIE Digital Library.
• Published papers are indexed in leading scientific databases including INSPEC, Ei Compendex, Chemical Abstracts, International Aerospace Abstracts, ISI Index to Scientific and Technical Proceedings and NASA Astrophysical Data System, and are searchable in the SPIE Digital Library. Full manuscripts are available to all SPIE Digital Library subscribers.
