*IEEE VR 2017 Call for Video Contributions*


IEEE VR 2017: the 24th IEEE Virtual Reality Conference

March 18-22, 2017, Los Angeles, California

http://ieeevr.org/2017/


We invite VR researchers and enthusiasts to submit videos showcasing
virtual reality research, applications, and creative works. Video
submissions may also include 3D user interfaces, mixed reality, or
augmented reality. We are proud to announce two video submission tracks:
Technical and Creative VR. Accepted video submissions will be featured on
the IEEE Virtual Reality Conference YouTube Channel

*Creative VR Track*
Submissions to the Creative VR track should be artistic, creative,
experimental, narrative or journalistic in nature and produced in 360
degree spherical format. Audiovisual immersion and user participation has
the potential to heighten a viewers' sense of presence and level of
engagement by a presentation form that is closer to how we actually
perceive and engage with the world around us. We are interested in
originality and innovation in the design of immersive experiences. Video
submissions in this track should be limited to 3 to 8 minutes in length and
adhere with the specification outlined below.

*Technical Video Track*
Submissions to the Technical track should be videos whose intent is to
demonstrate preliminary results, consolidated researched results,
works-in-progress, and research/technical demonstrations. We also invite
video demos of creative VR experiences, documented and produced as a framed
standard video. Technical video submissions should be limited to 2 to 5
minutes in length and comply with the specification outlined below.


Videos should be able to stand on their own, adequately present their
topic, and be narrated in English. Videos can and should be submitted
independently of a paper submission, although videos describing work in a
submitted paper are welcome. Selected videos will be included in the
electronic proceedings and will also be prominently displayed during the
IEEE Virtual Reality conference.

Each video must be accompanied by a *one-page PDF* description. These
descriptions will be included in the electronic proceedings, and therefore
must be formatted using the IEEE Computer Society format described at
http://junctionpublishing.org/vgtc/Tasks/camera.html

.

Each description should include:

   - A title
   - A 200-word abstract
   - References (if applicable)
   - Acknowledgements
   - Contact information with author names, affiliations, and an email
   address for the lead author
   - A high-resolution representative still image in the PDF document.

*Technical specifications for submission: *

When preparing the video, please make it as professional as possible.
Producing a video already requires a significant amount of effort, and
spending just a little more effort to raise the quality can make a big
difference. Submitted videos should follow the following guidelines:


*Technical Video Track:*

   - Length: 2 to 5 minutes.
   - Standard framed HD video format.
   - Titles and credits should not be displayed more ten seconds: the
   content is the most important!
   - *MP4* container using the H.264 video and AAC audio codec!
   - The MP4 must contain one video track and audio track.
   - Please follow the YouTube recommended encoding settings (for frame
   rate and bitrate):
   https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1722171
   <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__support.google.com_youtube_answer_1722171&d=CwMGaQ&c=imBPVzF25OnBgGmVOlcsiEgHoG1i6YHLR0Sj_gZ4adc&r=Qo0j9HIbBopA-3uIdRQb2C5hOiMwrrIG8gtwxx14oDc&m=MqFBD-QzJ0YcuG9VVNWhA6RDsU7L9ka6fi4EhIyio9M&s=NCtfFPL4HjI0hJziOnctFUWScEQQWy6WnoITzmK8rFs&e=>
   - Encode your video using square pixels for the pixel aspect ratio and
   disable interlacing.
   - We strongly recommend 16:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of at least
   of 1280x720px. High frame rate and resolutions are possible if within the
   YouTube recommendations.


*Creative VR Track:*

   - Length: 3 to 8 minutes.
   - Production might be live-action, CGI omni-directional rendering,
    visual FX compositing, … .
   - Titles and credits should not be displayed more ten seconds: the
   content is the most important!
   - Spherical/equirectangular 360 degree format in monoscopic or
   stereoscopic 3D (top-bottom layout with left on top).
   - Your video will need to be submitted via an *unlisted YouTube link* and
   a *MP4* for download. Use the *YouTube 360 Video Metadata App* to ensure
   that your video is recognized as an interactive 360º video:

   <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__support.google.com_youtube_answer_6178631&d=CwMGaQ&c=imBPVzF25OnBgGmVOlcsiEgHoG1i6YHLR0Sj_gZ4adc&r=Qo0j9HIbBopA-3uIdRQb2C5hOiMwrrIG8gtwxx14oDc&m=MqFBD-QzJ0YcuG9VVNWhA6RDsU7L9ka6fi4EhIyio9M&s=ZyE2gwTqh7w35QyO1s6ZF3ECpKUxzYX3nGi014xJdDI&e=>
   - Aspect ratio is 2:1 for mono or 1:1 for stereoscopic 3D
   (top-bottom). Recommended horizontal resolution is 4k. Youtube recommends
   16:9 aspect ratio, but the correct 2:1 aspect ratio for spherical
   projection seem to work as well and is preferred.
   - Format MP4 container with one video track and audio track using the
   H.264 video and AAC audio codec!
   - Please follow the Youtube recommended encoding settings (for frame
   rate and bitrate):
   https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1722171
   <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__support.google.com_youtube_answer_1722171&d=CwMGaQ&c=imBPVzF25OnBgGmVOlcsiEgHoG1i6YHLR0Sj_gZ4adc&r=Qo0j9HIbBopA-3uIdRQb2C5hOiMwrrIG8gtwxx14oDc&m=MqFBD-QzJ0YcuG9VVNWhA6RDsU7L9ka6fi4EhIyio9M&s=NCtfFPL4HjI0hJziOnctFUWScEQQWy6WnoITzmK8rFs&e=>

   ambisonic):
