This year, the International Conference on Graphics and Interaction 2025 (ICGI’2025) took place on November 13-14, in Sintra, jointly organised by ISTAR_Iscte, Iscte-Sintra and the Eurographics Portuguese Chapter (GPCG).
The conference brought together researchers, teachers and professionals from the fields of Computer Graphics, Image Processing, Computer Vision and Human-Computer Interaction, promoting the dissemination of completed or ongoing work and encouraging the exchange of experiences between the academic and industrial sectors and society.
One of the highlights was the presentation of the article “Materializer: Material Changing Haptics for VR“, authored by the former M.EIC student Henrique Mota Ribeiro, together with Daniel Mendes and Rui Rodrigues, both lecturers at DEI. The work received two distinctions of excellence, winning the Best Paper and Best Presentation awards, reinforcing the scientific and innovative relevance of the project.
The programme also featured prestigious keynotes such as Corina Sas (Lancaster University) and Daniel Gonçalves (IST/UL), leading experts in the areas covered by the event, and an exhibition open to industry, where brands and institutions presented innovative products and services.
