About CGS

The Computer Graphics Society (CGS) is an international, professional society whose purpose is to promote advances in computer graphics by exchanging ideas to find innovative solutions. It is an international non-profit association, run by volunteers, that is at the service of its members.

CGS invites researchers across the whole world to share their passion, experiences and novel achievements in various fields – like computer graphics and human-computer interaction.

CGS founders

International Steering Committee

A steering committee (SC) of the CGS is composed of members, mostly who have organized the conferences in the past. It decides about the strategy of the CGS and the operations of its governing conferences. The SC also coordinates and maintains the CGS Membership that are offered to all participants to the CGS conferences. The SC requests a proposal including conference and program chairs proposals, keynote speakers, financial budget and dates to be submitted to the SC no later than 14 months before the date of the proposed conference.

The Visual Computer

Editor-in-Chief: Nadia Magnenat-Thalmann / published by Springer Verlag

The Visual Computer is dedicated to reporting on the state-of-the-art of research in the field of graphics, vision, imaging, and virtual reality. It features practical results, applications, and contributions that describe advances in such areas as: – Geometric modeling – Computer vision – Visualization – Computer animation – Dynamic modeling – Motion capture and synthesis – Virtual reality – Rendering models – Texturing – Image-based rendering – Non-photorealistic rendering.

Computer Animation and Virtual Worlds

Co-Editors in Chief: Daniel Thalmann and Nadia Magnenat Thalmann / published by Wiley

With the advent of very powerful PCs and high-end graphics cards, there has been an incredible development in Virtual Worlds, real-time computer animation and simulation, games. But at the same time, new and cheaper Virtual Reality devices have appeared allowing an interaction with these real-time Virtual Worlds and even with real worlds through Augmented Reality.
