[Ieee_vis] 2014 3DUI Contest task suggestions

[Jason Jerald]

IEEE 3DUI (3D User Interfaces) will be holding its 5th annual 3DUI Contest
in 2014. The contest is open to anyone interested in 3D user interfaces,
from researchers to students, enthusiasts, and professionals. We believe
the annual contest helps the community find innovative solutions to classic
3DUI problems (e.g., navigation, selection, manipulation) through friendly
competition that encourages outside-the-box thinking, unleashing of
creativity, and demonstration of new interfaces!  The goal of the 3DUI
contest is to both challenge and harness the 3DUI research community to
solve real-world 3d user interface problems. See
http://www.3dui.org/2013/contestants.html for last year's contest.

This year we are opening up the creation of the contest task by reaching
out to our friends across both academia and industry. We need your help to
come up with contest ideas!  What are some challenges and unsolved problems
in 3d user interfaces?

If you know of
 - a 3D application that could benefit from a breakthrough user interface,
 - a 3D task that would benefit real users, or
 - a 3D commercial device that needs a killer application
we'd like to here from you!

We will require contestants to demonstrate their system onsite live, so
please keep this in mind when proposing ideas.

Please email us your ideas by midnight July 1st at
contest.chairs at 3dui.org

And please forward this information on to your colleagues!

Thanks,
