Proceedings of Graphics Interface 2008

Abstract

Welcome to Graphics Interface 2008. This annual conference, now in its 34th year, is devoted to computer graphics, interactive systems, and human-computer interaction. Graphics Interface occupies a unique niche among conferences in that it seeks to both combine and bridge research topics in and across these areas. Beginning in 1969 as the Canadian Man-Computer Communications Seminar (CMCCS), it is the oldest regularly scheduled computer graphics and human-computer interaction conference. This year, Graphics Interface was held May 28-30, 2008 in Windsor, Ontario. We received a total of 85 submissions, of which 34 papers were accepted. The final program is balanced between HCI and computer graphics, with both tracks seeing similar acceptance rates: 41% for the HCI track, and 39% for the graphics track. Twenty international experts served on the program committee, solicited and managed reviews from a wide body of other experts and helped to select a very high quality set of papers for this year's conference. The great majority of papers received four reviews, two of which were from program committee members.
