Description
The fifth annual Bellairs Workshop on Computer Animation will focus
on physically based animation methods. The workshop will consist of a
variety of activities, including talks, breakout sessions for
participants to discuss topics in small groups, and a session for
interactive demos. There will also be plenty of time for informal
discussions. The Bellairs facilities are relatively primitive (and
inexpensive), so there are few distractions such as those typically
found in hotels. Accommodation is very basic (in most cases double occupancy), and
with meals costs between 70 and 85 USD per day. Reservations must be
made through the workshop organizers. Due to space limitations,
participation at the workshop is by invitation only.
The workshop will take place at McGill University's Bellairs
Research Institute and will be held Friday 15 to Friday 22 February.
Participants should plan to arrive at the Bridgetown airport in the
afternoon on Friday. Shared taxi service (approximately 35 USD one
way) will be organized via a Google spreadsheet. Note that while you
are in Barbados the prices will always quoted in Barbados dollars, but
you can always pay with US dollars as there is a fixed 2 Barbados to 1
USD exchange rate.

Schedule
The tentative schedule will assembled in the days leading up to the
workshop. Each day will generally follow a similar format of
presentations in the morning, an extended break for lunch, followed by
a second set of presentations in the afternoon. Informal discussions
typically continue after dinner. One evening will be set aside for
software demos. The week will also include one day break (typically
the Thursday before Friday departure), giving participants an
opportunity to explore the island.
