Introduction:
This two day conference will provide an outstanding opportunity to hear 
some of the world's leading speakers in the related areas of human-
computer interaction and visualisation. It will also provide an arena 
for professionals in the biosciences and pharmacology to meet with the 
leading graphics and interaction experts and to develop new ideas and 
synergies. 

The meeting will take place in the newly completed conference facilities
at the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus in the grounds of Hinxton Hall, 
Cambridge, UK. The campus is the site of The European Bioinformatics 
Institute, The Sanger Centre and the UK MRC Human Genome Mapping Project
Resource Centre. 

The two keynote speakers are: 
Professor Andries van Dam, Thomas J. Watson, Jr., University Professor 
of Technology and Education and Professor of Computer Science, Brown 
University, Providence, RI (http://www.cs.brown.edu/people/avd/home.html) 

and 

Prof. Dr. Josi  Luis Encarnagco, Professor Technical University of 
Darmstadt and Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics
in Darmstadt (http://www.crcg.edu/Staff/enc.html). 

Both have been visionary pioneers in establishing the discipline of 
computer graphics, Van Dam being a co-founder of SIGGRAPH and 
Encarnagco being the driving force behind the founding of EUROGRAPHICS. 

The conference program will cover: 

     Frontiers in 3D Human Interactions 
     Applications of Virtual Reality
