About IEEE Computer Graphics & Applications

Distinct from other IEEE publications, CG&A emphasizes the applied and experiential dimensions of graphical technologies. It serves as an essential resource for professionals and researchers working at the forefront of computer graphics and its wide-ranging applications across STEM fields, the arts, education, business, and beyond.

Scope

IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications (CG&A) bridges the theory and practice of computer graphics by publishing work that spans foundational research to practical implementation. The magazine focuses on computer graphics, visualization, virtual reality, and interactive techniques. These topics often intersect, creating a multidisciplinary domain for exploring new technologies.

Special Issue on State of the Art in Computer Graphics and Applications in the Asia Pacific Region
Submission Date: 2026-02-23

Over the past few decades, the Asia Pacific region has become one of the most vibrant and influential areas for computer graphics research and development. Countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore have established strong academic and industrial ecosystems that have advanced visualization, interactive techniques, digital content creation, computer animation, and human–computer interaction. These contributions range from fundamental research to large-scale commercial applications and have had a significant global impact.

For IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications (CG&A), this special issue represents a strategically important opportunity to highlight Asia Pacific as a major driver of worldwide innovation. By featuring both established leaders and emerging talent, the issue will connect regional advances with the international community and provide readers with a comprehensive view of the technologies, trends, and creative practices shaping the future of computer graphics.

Topics of Interest

We welcome submissions that showcase the latest research and applications from Asia in all areas of computer graphics and related fields. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

    Modeling, rendering, and animation
    Visualization and visual analytics
    Virtual reality
    Computational photography
    Computational fabrication
    Interactive techniques and user experience design
    Digital content creation and cultural computing
    Digital humans and avatars
    Applications of AI and machine learning in graphics

New Submission Category: Perspective and Overview Papers

In addition to traditional research and application articles, this special issue also welcomes Perspective and Overview papers. These contributions provide forward-looking insights, synthesize emerging trends, or present comprehensive overviews of specific subfields within computer graphics and related areas. Authors are encouraged to consider this category when submitting, as it offers an opportunity to highlight unique regional directions, collaborative initiatives, and future research challenges shaping the Asia Pacific computer graphics community.

Special Issue on Agentic AI in Computer Graphics and Human-AI Collaboration
Submission Date: 2026-02-23

In recent months, IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications (CG&A) has featured a growing number of discussions on the convergence of AI and interactive graphics. Agentic AI has leapfrogged the field of Generative AI forward by enabling LLMs to interact outside the realm of their training and augmented data to provide automated reasoning capabilities. Agentic AI refers to systems that autonomously make decisions, reason, and act to achieve goals. These advances promise to transform how humans interact with intelligent systems and how complex information is visualized, communicated, manipulated, and interpreted.

We invite submissions for a special issue on Agentic AI in Computer Graphics and Human-AI Collaboration. We welcome original research contributions addressing various aspects of Agentic AI interfacing with novel computer graphics, animation, and interactive visualization applications, and innovative forms of human-AI interactions. Submissions are encouraged to deepen our understanding of Agentic AI in these areas through theoretical frameworks, innovative systems, and empirical research.

A non-exhaustive list of topics includes:

    Frameworks and tools for Agentic AI for interactive computer graphics, animation, and visualization, and Human-AI collaboration
    Responsible and trustworthy Agentic AI systems
    Application of Agentic AI for VR/AR/XR
    Ethical issues and limitations for Agentic AI systems in Human-AI collaboration
    Agentic AI for digital twins, avatars, and other synthetic data generation techniques
    Evaluation of Agentic AI in Human-AI collaboration
    Designing and teaching Agentic AI through interactive visual systems
    Transparent Agentic AI systems through interactive graphics, animation, and visualization
    Agentic AI for the design of visual interactive systems
    Agentic AI for entertainment

In addition to research papers, IEEE CG&A invites Perspective and Overview Paper (POP) submissions related to this theme. POP papers may include surveys, tutorials, state-of-the-art reports, or forward-looking perspectives that synthesize knowledge or explore emerging aspects of the CFP theme. For details, visit https://www.computer.org/csdl/magazine/cg/write-for-us/481717, but please submit your paper to this special issue rather than the regular POP queue.
