Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Applied Perception

It is our pleasure to present the proceedings of the Symposium on Applied Perception (ACM SAP) held at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, August 22-23, 2013. ACM SAP, formerly known as APGV, aims to advance and promote research that crosses the boundaries between perception and disciplines such as graphics, visualization, vision, haptics and acoustics. Our tenth annual event includes exciting new research from all of these disciplines. We decided to hold the ACM SAP 2013 conference immediately prior to the 36th annual European Conference on Visual Perception (ECVP) in Bremen, Germany. By doing so, we hope to further promote communication between the core perception and computer graphics communities, and also bring back the symposium in its new form to Europe. The changing of the name to SAP was intended to broaden the scope of the conference and to encourage representation from all aspects of applied perception. We believe that this goal is already being met. We were delighted to see a number of submissions that included auditory, haptic, and vestibular perception. We had 54 papers submitted for the SAP conference and 22 of those were accepted through reviews from at least three members of the International Program Committee. Cathy Ennis also served as Poster's Chair and selected a number of poster submissions to be included in the meeting both as posters and flash reports.
