GoingToMeet

There are an increasing number of applications that require a good understanding of ambient lighting and illumination of objects or scenes to create a desired effect or appearance. Applications such as 3-D virtual environment visualization, architectural lighting, computer animation and automotive lighting are some of the areas that deal with the effect of ambient lighting and a lit model’s appearance. Complimentary to understanding such effects is the need for sources and optical designs to create the desired illumination while understanding human perceptual characteristics.

This topical meeting aims at bringing together communities such as lighting, computer graphics, color technologists, optical designers, light sources and virtual reality towards the common goal of design, production and understanding of ambient lighting and a lit model’s appearance. We would like to encourage submissions in the following areas:

* Simulation of ambient lighting and rendering of lit scenes and objects. Applications in virtual reality and animation.
* Human factors in lighting and lighting perception.
* Aesthetic design for buildings.
* Light sources for architectural and vehicular lighting.
* Optical design for lighting applications and non-imaging optics.
* Material properties of paints and other optical surfaces and volumes. BSDF modeling, measurement and application.
* Color in lighting applications.
