“Graphics and Visual Image Synthesis for Metaverse”“Visual Media Analytics for Virtual Reality”― Special issue of Computer Graphics International 2023 (CGI 2023)

Computer Graphics International (CGI) has been a prominent annual international conference in the field of computer graphics and virtual reality. It provides researchers with a unique platform to exchange their experiences, gains and various achievements. Previously, CGI was held in different places around the world such as Sydney (2014), Strasbourg (2015), Heraklion (2016), Yokohama (2017), Bintan (2018) and Calgary (2019). Due to the pandemic, the event turned into a virtual one between 2020 and 2022. This year, CGI is scheduled to take place again in Shanghai with the joint efforts of Shanghai Jiao Tong University and University of Sydney with the support of Computer Graphics Society. With its hybrid feature allowing both onsite and online presence it will be an exemplary experience for all participants.

You are invited to submit your full paper to CGI 2023 by 12 June 2023 for possible publication in the CAVW Journal, VRIH journal and CGI Conference Proceedings (LNCS, Springer). VRIH journal will publish two special issues on CGI 2023 conference papers.
