Proceedings of the 3rd international conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques in Australasia and South East Asia

Abstract

As Program-Chairs for GRAPHITE 2005 it has been our pleasure to put together what we are confident will be an outstanding technical program. Through a rigorous review process we have selected 38 full papers from a total of 93 submissions and 32 short papers. We were very happy with the high quality of papers and the large number of submissions. It is clear from this that GRAPHITE is has emerged as one of the premiere computer graphics conferences.It was a very difficult decision to accept so few papers from such a strong set of submissions. Luckily however we did not have to make the decision ourselves. We would like to thank the 39 members of the program committee who provided excellent feedback on the paper submissions, to very tight timescales. We know that a conference such this is impossible to organize without the support of the research community and we are very grateful for the time they have spent on paper reviews and the efforts of the papers' authors.As a result of these efforts we have been able to put together an excellent program that has technical content from a wide variety of computer graphics topics, ranging from non-photorealistic rendering techniques to virtual reality input devices and cloth simulation. It is good to see such a breadth of topics being presented in one conference and there should be something new for every attendee to learn more about the field of Computer Graphics and Interactive techniques.
