The SBC Journal on Interactive 3D Systems (JIS) is a new publication of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC), maintained and supported by the interest group on Virtual Reality. The journal has two annual issues (May and November). The main goals of this publication include:

1. •To disseminate original scientific works on the areas of virtual reality, augmented reality, and 3D interaction
   

2. •To present and introduce interesting scientific on-going work in development by research institutions focused on research and development in related themes
   

3. •To offer an expression space that allows the exchange of specialists´ opinions about the main challenges on the area
   

 

Authors are invited to submit original contributions – written in English – presenting experimental or theoretical results, case studies, as well as new ideas and applications with advances in a broad spectrum of technical areas. Topics include but are not limited to:

1. •Innovative 3D input and output devices
   

2. •Innovative 3D interaction techniques
   

3. •Augmented and mixed reality
   

4. •Multimodal interaction
   

5. •Non-conventional interaction
   

6. •Social, economical and technical impacts of virtual reality
   

7. •Video-based interaction
   

8. •Collaborative virtual environments
   

9. •Virtual humans and avatars
   

10. •Interactive modeling, rendering, and animation
    

11. •Real-time simulation, animation and visualization
    

12. •Tele-collaboration and tele-operation
    

13. •Networked virtual environments
    

14. •Artificial life
    

15. •Hardware graphics acceleration
    

16. •Internet-based 3D applications
    

17. •Virtual and augmented reality for scientific visualization
    

18. •Virtual and augmented reality system development
    

19. •Virtual and augmented reality applications in any area
    

Contributions are accepted as full papers or technical communications. 

Full papers may present contributions on several manners:

1. •Concluded scientific works presenting algorithms, concepts, new devices or techniques
   

2. •On-going works presenting new ideas with preliminary results, addressing important problems, describing systems´ implementations, etc.
   

3. •Surveys with a critical vision of a specific area, also including a complete revision of the state-of-the-art
   

4. •Tutorials deeply covering a specific topic, from a theoretical or practical point of view
   

Technical communications are contributions typically shorter than full papers that may present: abstracts of concluded Master and PhD Thesis, results obtained from undergraduation final projects, independent works, reports about research projects (concluded or not), industry communications, books and conferences reviews, etc. The main objective of this type of communication is the advertisement.
