VRST 2018 CALL FOR PAPERS

https://vrst.acm.org/vrst2018/

 

The ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology (VRST) is

the premier international symposium for the presentation of new

research results, systems, and techniques among researchers and

developers concerned with augmented, virtual and mixed reality

(AR/VR/MR, XR for short) software and technology.

 

VRST brings together the main international research groups working on

XR, along with many of the world’s leading companies that provide or

utilize XR systems. VRST 2018 will be held in Tokyo, Japan, hosted by

Waseda University, from Wednesday, Nov. 28th to Saturday, Dec. 1st,

2018. The event is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI and SIGGRAPH.

 

VRST 2018 welcomes submissions of research papers that relate (but not

limited) to topics given below.

 

- XR technology and devices

- Advanced display technologies and immersive projection technologies

- Low-latency and high-performance XR

- Multi-user and distributed XR

- XR software infrastructures

- XR authoring systems

- HCI for XR

- Real-time techniques for XR

- Haptics, smell and taste

- Computer graphics techniques for XR

- Computer vision techniques for XR

- Modeling and simulation

- AI approaches for XR

- XR applications

 

Submissions in other related areas are also welcome. See the symposium

website for more details: https://vrst.acm.org/vrst2018

 

Authors are invited to submit papers of no more than 10 pages for full

papers and 4 pages for short papers, both with 2-column "teaser"

figures on the first page. All submissions must be in English. All

accepted papers will be published in the Symposium Proceedings and

will be included in the ACM Digital Library (EI-indexed). Papers and

poster abstracts should be prepared using the "sigconf" ACM template

style. ACM article templates (LaTeX and Word) are available from:

http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template

 

VRST uses a double-blind review process. Therefore, submissions and

supporting materials (e.g., videos) should not contain information

(including citations) that unnecessarily identifies the authors or

their institutions or places of work. All submissions must be made

electronically as PDF files. Authors are encouraged to submit videos

to aid the program committee in the review of their submissions, but

should make sure all necessary codecs are included.

 

Extended versions of two or three best papers from VRST 2018 will be

invited to resubmit to IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer

Graphics.

 

We also invite submissions of Poster and Demo papers (2 pages). We

particularly encourage industrial researchers, startups, and

researchers early in their careers to submit. Accepted Poster and Demo

papers will be published in the Symposium Proceedings and will be

included in the ACM Digital Library.

 

Papers, posters, and demos must be submitted through the online submission site:
