Course

This year, a two-day course in geometry processing will be offered immediately before the conference on Monday, June 30 and Tuesday, July 1.

The course is taught by Leif Kobbelt and Mario Botsch. Leif and Mario have given award winning courses in geometry processing at SIGGRAPH and Eurographics. This course is longer which allows a more in depth treatment of the topics by including hands-on exercises. There will be lectures in the morning of each day and exercises in our lab facilities during the afternoon.

Registration is online from the conference registration page. Note that it is possible to register just for the course. Lunch, refreshments, and a dinner the first day are included in the registration.

The course program is available below:
