************************************************************************

 

We would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing to the

2012 Joint Virtual Reality Conference of ICAT-EGVE-EuroVR (JVRC 2012).

 

In 2012, three conferences are merged together into the JVRC 2012 - Joint Virtual Reality Conference of ICAT-EGVE–EuroVR:

- the 22nd International Conference on Artificial Reality and Teleexistence (ICAT)

- the 18th Eurographics Symposium on Virtual Environments

- the 9th EuroVR Conference

 

JVRC is an international event which brings together people from industry, commerce, research including technology developers, suppliers and all those interested in virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality and 3D user interfaces to exchange knowledge and share experiences of new results and applications, show live demonstrations of current and emerging technologies, discuss emerging directions for the field and form collaborations for future work.
