Selected Papers from the Eurasia Graphics Conference Series

Bibliographic Information published by the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek

Preface

This book includes peer-reviewed papers from EURASIA GRAPHICS conferences organized in years 2014, 2017 and 2018. EURASIA GRAPHICS Conference is a platform that brings together researchers, practitioners, students, and the industry to share the latest developments and research in the field of Computer Graphics, Animation and Gaming. Eurasia Graphics plays an active role in providing an environment where the results of the novel researches and experiences can be shared.

EURASIA GRAPHICS 2014, 2017 and 2018 conferences were held at Hacettepe University in Ankara, at Bahçeşehir University in İstanbul and at Hasan Kalyoncu University in Gaziantep, respectively. In those conferences, there were submissions from more than 10 different countries including Mexico, Germany, Ireland, USA, Brazil, UK, Iran, Azerbaycan and Pakistan.

The interdisciplinary character of the conference allowed people to present a wide range of approaches that helped stimulate intellectual discussions and the exchange of new ideas.

The goal of the editors of this book is to present interdisciplinary approach to computer graphics, animation, gaming and VR/AR/MR presented at these conferences. A total of 23 peer-reviewed full papers from various areas have been selected for this book.

The editors would like to thank the authors for their contributions to this book. We appreciate the organizers of EURASIA GRAPHICS in 2014, 2017 and 2018 from which we selected the articles. We also express our deep gratitude to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Barbaros Bostan and Dr. Güven Çatak from Bahcesehir University Game (BUG) Lab for their efforts in the process of publishing this book.
