Collaviz @ Web3D in Darmstadt
The Collaviz team joined strongly the 2009 Web 3D Symposium hold in Darmstadt (Germany) from the 15th to the 17th of June at the Fraunhofer IGD institute. This symposium is also an ACM conference.
The contribution to the Symposium of the Collaviz team included:
- Presentation by the Thierry Duval and Cédric Fleury (INSA de Rennes) of their paper ” An asymmetric 2D Pointer / 3D Ray for 3D Interaction within Collaborative Virtual Environment“
- Tutorial on XIOT “Importing, exporting and processing of X3D-assets”, by Kristian Sons (Actor3D)
- Results on the work on X3D-Brep specifications by Alexandre Frouart (EDF and Yumetech) at the X3D PlugFest
- Presentation of the V3D demonstrator of Collaviz by Christophe Mouton (EDF) at the Web3D Show Case
- Presentation of the Collaviz project by Alban Schmutz (Oxalya) and Christophe Mouton (EDF)
- Participation to the panel “Interactive 3D Visualization – Technologies and Applications” of Alban Schmutz (Oxalya) and Christophe Mouton (EDF). The other panel speakers included Don Brutzman (NPS), Paul Morgan (Fujimed), Nicholas Polys (Virgina Tech) and Philipp Slusallek (DFKI), and was chaired by Krzysztof Walczak (PUE).

Web3D Symposium
14th in the series, the Web3D 2009 International Symposium will address this wide range of topics covering 3D hypermedia on the web. The annual Web3D Symposium is a major event, which unites researchers, developers, experimenters, 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 X3D, VRML, COLLADA, Croquet, MPEG4, Java3D, and Canvas3D. The symposium will also address new trends such as interactive 3D graphics applications on mobile devices.
Collaviz will be of course represented at this event of 3D through 2 different ways. First, IRISA through Thierry Duval, which is one of the project partners, will present his accepted paper about “Asymmetric 2D Pointer / 3D Ray for 3D Interaction within Collaborative Virtual Environments“. Second, Collaviz will animate a panel session about “Visualization & X3D” on Wednesday, 17 June.
Web3D 2009 will take place at Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics (IGD) in Darmstadt (Germany) close to Frankfurt / Main

3D Static and Animated Objects Compression
Within the context of the GdR ISIS (a reflection group from the CNRS about Information, Signal, Pictures and ViSion) Florent Dupont (LIRIS) co-organized a day entitled: 3D Static and Animated Objects Compression.
The day was held at TELECOM ParisTech on April 2nd. It was a clear success and people took an interest by watching presentations about graphics compression, meshing or watermarking. This was of course a good opportunity to say a few word about Collaviz. So the project has been introduced by people from the LIRIS and ECP.
More info and presentations are available here (french).
IBM HPC Seminar in Toulouse (March 10th)
Jean-Pierre BELAUD (INPT) will present on Tuesday 10th March 2009 the perspectives of the Collaviz project at the IBM/Overlap “HPC Campus Day” in Toulouse (France).
4 presentation tracks has been selected by Big Blue to illustrate the new paradigms of High Perofmance Comptuing:
- Return of Experiment of Bue Gene simulations (Nicolas MONNIER, CERFACS Toulouse)
- Exemple of intensive computation: simulation, flight, combustion, structure and flying (Pascal RICHARD, CNES)
- Collaviz: Innovative Multi-domain Remote Collaborative platform for the simulation-based applications (Jean-Pierre BELAUD, INPT-ENSIACET)
- IBM Research works on parallel architectures (Luigi BROCHARD, IBM Distinguished Engineer)
Collaviz at Imagina 2009
The Collaviz project has been presented in the Industry trac of the “Imagina Forum 2009″, gathering the whole European 3D Community.
During 3 days, professionnals may meet at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco. Alban Schmutz, coordinator of the Collaviz project has participate to the first day Conference to discuss “Enabling remote and collaborative high performance visualization for industry“.
Collaviz is on the road…
January 20st, Collaviz held its kick-off to officialy launch our Open Framework for scientific visualization…and break some technological bottlenecks for scientists to collaborate and process their data remotelyat any place and any time in the world.
A huge challenge is now to face: ensure easy web access to scientific visualization capabilities, tailored interfaces for each business or research space and maximaze the networks’ capacities to help scientists to ensure better research.
The first targets of the Collaviz community will be adressed in a 3-year road map to give Open Source tools for scientific visualization in many industries, namely Geophysics, Automotive, Energy, Chemistry, Drug Design, etc.
A long road is now open. 28 partners launched this project to make the whole community progress… do not hesitate to join us.
