Call for Papers 6th IEEE VR Internal Workshop on Animation in Virtual and Augmented Environments
25.3.2023 in Shanghai, China (held on-site as hybrid event)
held in conjunction with IEEE Virtual Reality 2023
Description
Animation is an extensive and heterogeneous media form. Often associated with cinema and television, animated images have entered many areas of life, particularly games, installations, or data visualizations, taking on operative, communicative, epistemic, and didactic tasks, among other things. In this context, Suzanne Buchan (2013) speaks of pervasive animation, a media world in which animated images are omnipresent. Also, in one of the most innovative fields of motion picture production, augmented and virtual reality, animation is an integral part of artistic, scientific, and economic applications in animated forms as well as mixed with live-recorded footage.
Connecting specialists from various digital humanities research areas (such as animation, games, and media studies) with experts from both vision-oriented computer science areas (such as computer graphics or information visualization) and experts from technically oriented computer-science areas (such as data integration, internet-of-things or smart automation), the ANIVAE workshop aims to create an open and exciting environment. By encouraging synergies of interdisciplinary approaches, the workshop maps animation within the AVR context from different angles and creates new knowledge in this research field.
ANIVAE wants to account for the state-of-the-art research in digital humanities with (software) design and visualization for AVR systems, to shape a common understanding, to compare systems and approaches and derive common paradigms, to develop useful and necessary methods and techniques, and to foster new ideas.

Dresden: Frohe Weihnachten und ein gutes 2023 wünscht das DIAF
Liebe Freunde, Förderer und Partner, liebe Animationsfilm-Liebhaber,
draußen verbreiten – vermutlich auch bei Ihnen – knackige Kälte und der erste Schnee Vorweihnachtsstimmung. Das Jahr geht zu Ende. Wir sind dankbar für das rege Interesse an unseren beiden Ausstellungen zu Kurt Weiler und den Märchen-Trickfilmen, konnten eine Wanderausstellung auf Reisen schicken und die Arbeit an der neuen DAPHNE-Datenbank beginnen, haben etliche interessante Vor- und Nachlässe erhalten und freuen uns über die vielen glücklichen Zuschauer bei unseren ANIMANIA-Filmabenden und anderen Veranstaltungen. Wir sagen danke für Ihr Interesse und Vertrauen, für Ihre Treue und Neugier sowie für die angenehme Zusammenarbeit!
Für 2023 planen wir nun die Ausstellung zu ostdeutschen Animationsfilm-Plakaten fest ein und denken über eine weitere Exposition zu einem anderen Thema nach. Ein zweiter Trickfilmbrief soll endlich erscheinen und die Chronologie zum Animationsfilm in Deutschland fortgesetzt werden, die hinzugekommenen Archivalien harren der Aufarbeitung und Erfassung, Kooperationen werden weitergeführt oder stehen in den Startlöchern. Im Februar wird die Hamburger Künstlerin Pachet Fulmen als Artist in Residence zu Gast im DIAF sein.
Für das kommende Jahr wünschen wir Ihnen und uns vor allem eine unerschütterliche Gesundheit, sprudelnde Ideen sowie Energie und Erfolg für alle anstehenden Projekte.
Wir hoffen, dass Sie die Weihnachtszeit in Ruhe und Frieden genießen können und gut ins neue Jahr hinüberrutschen.
Herzliche Grüße

Oppenheimer | Official Trailer || Offizieller Trailer
Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer is an IMAX®-shot epic thriller that thrusts audiences into the pulse-pounding paradox of the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world in order to save it.
The film stars Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer and Emily Blunt as his wife, biologist and botanist Katherine “Kitty” Oppenheimer.

Oppenheimer is filmed in a combination of IMAX® 65mm and 65mm large-format film photography including, for the first time ever, sections in IMAX® black and white analogue photography.
