The workshop provides a great opportunity for researchers to present and discuss their latest results and to share ideas for potential directions of future research in virtual reality and computer animation. VRIPHYS 2014 seeks original, high-quality papers in all areas related, but not necessarily restricted to: animation, e.g. physically-based, vision-based, knowledge-based, and geometric approaches virtual and augmented reality planning, learning, optimization for animation interfaces for creating and editing animations perception in animation autonomous characters, group and crowd behavior natural phenomena mathematical foundations of animation haptics sound rendering & interfaces related techniques, e. g. collision detection and contact handling applications, e.g. in robotics, medicine, entertainment
