This symposium will provide a forum for presenting and exploring the newest research and development in image and video technology. The symposium combines a conference with an exhibition (showing the latest products in image and video technology), and offers also tutorials. The symposium will bring together technical issues, theory and practice, artistic and consumer innovations, and invites researchers, artists, developers, educators, performers, and practitioners of image and video technology from the Pacific Rim and around the world.

All papers will be subject to a double-blind review process which will be carried out by at least two experienced researchers in the field. Details on paper submission will be available soon.
