The conference follows a series of successful European VR/AR conferences taking place since 2004 and known as INTUITION, JVRC and recently EuroVR (Bemen 2014, Lecco 2015, Athens 2016, Laval 2017, and London 2018). The 2019 edition of the conference is being organized by the TalTech Mektory team at the Tallinn University of Technology - Estonian members of the European Association for Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality (EuroVR).EuroVR 2019 will bring together people from industry, commerce, and research, including technology developers, suppliers, and all those interested in Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), including Augmented Virtuality (AV) and Augmented Reality (AR), and more globally 3D user interfaces, to exchange knowledge and share experiences, new results and applications, enjoy live demonstrations of current and emerging technologies, and form collaborations for future work.TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONSFrom this year on, all contributions are organized in two main tracks, each one divided in several categories as follows.<div style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt 18pt;border:medium">1) Scientific track submissions can be:</div><div style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt;border:medium">a) Long (14-20 pages) or short (8-10 pages) scientific papers: original, unpublished papers documenting new research contributions, practice and experience, or novel applications in VR or AV/AR/MR.</div><div style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt 36pt;border:medium">b) Scientific poster papers (4-6 pages): work in progress or other scientific contributions that do not fit one of the categories of this call, such as ideas for unimplemented and/or unusual systems.</div>For this track, the International Program Committee (IPC) chairs, with the Poster chairs for the second category of submissions, will select the accepted contributions thanks to a double blind peer reviewing process among IPC members. All accepted papers will be published with the sizing corresponding to their category in the Scientific proceedings of EuroVR 2019, edited by Springer as a volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
