WELCOME TO VMV 2017

Welcome to the official website of the 22nd International Symposium on Vision, Modeling and Visualization (VMV 2017). The VMV Symposium is the annual symposium of the Computer Graphics Special Interest Group of the German Informatics Society (Jahrestagung des Fachbereichs grafische Datenverarbeitung der Gesellschaft für Informatik [GI e.V.]). It is a unique event that brings together scientists and people interested in the interdisciplinary fields of computer graphics, computer vision, visualization, and visual analytics, with special emphasis on the link between the disciplines. It offers researchers the opportunity to discuss a wide range of different topics within an open, international and interdisciplinary ambience. The Symposium took place September 25-27, 2017 at the Universitätsclub of the University of Bonn, Germany. We thank all attendees for their participation and hope to see you again next year in Stuttgart.
