EG 3DOR 2012

The fifth Eurographics workshop on 3D Object Retrieval (EG3DOR'12) will be take place on May 13, 2012 in Caliari (Italy), as a co-event of the 33rd Annual Conference of the European Association for Computer Graphics (Eurographics 2012). I am program chair of this event, together with Alexander Bronstein from Tel-Aviv University. Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit original and unpublished research and practical applications in all areas of 3D Object Retrieval.

3DORuS web page published

I am the principal investigator of the 3DORuS: 3D Object Retrieval using Skecthes project, funded by Portuguese Science and Technology Foundation (FCT). This project focus on interfaces for 3D object retrieval and started in March 2010. After a few delays, we made now available online the 3DORuS project webpage. Feel free to visit it and give us some feedback.

Eurodoc 2011

I've just attended the Eurodoc 2011 conference at Vilnius, where I present the talk "PhD research dissemination on a connected work",focusing the advantages that can be taken from social media to disseminate research work.

Congratulations to the organizers for the superb event. Keep on the good work.

LTouchIt at the WSCG 2011

We will present a full paper at the International Conferences in Central Europe on Computer Graphics, Visualization and Computer Vision (WSCG) about the preliminary work on a virtual LEGO modeler for multi-touch surfaces - LTouchIt. The LTouchIt project is a follow-up of the LSketchIt project, which focused on virtual LEGO modeling using calligraphic interfaces and 3D retrieval.
