[General] 2nd CfP: JVRC 2013 - 5th Joint Virtual Reality Conference of EGVE and EuroVR

The Organising Committees would like to cordially invite you to consider contributing to JVRC 2013, the 5th Joint Virtual Reality Conference of EuroVR and EGVE, in association with ICAT 2013 (joint remote events) ************************************************************************ 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS 5th Joint Virtual Reality Conference of EGVE-EuroVR (JVRC 2013) Campus Paris Saclay, 11-13 December 2013 http://jvrc2013.sciencesconf.org/ ************************************************************************ After Lyon, Stuttgart, Nottingham, and Madrid, the series of Joint Virtual Reality Conferences of EGVE-EuroVR (JVRC) continue with Paris on 11-13 December 2013. This year conference gathers: - The 19th Eurographics Symposium on Virtual Environments (EGVE - www.eg.org/<http://www.eg.org/>)/>); - The 10th Conference and Exhibition of the European Association of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality (EuroVR - www.eurovr-association.org/<http://www.eurovr-association.org/>)/>). As previous issues, JVRC 2013 will bring 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, live demonstrations of current and emerging technologies and form collaborations for future work. JVRC 2013 will also feature several common France-Japan events in association with the 23rd International Conference on Artificial Reality and Telexistence (ICAT 2013) held during the same period in Tokyo (www.ic-at.org<http://www.ic-at.org/>)/>). JVRC 2013 is locally organised by the VENISE group of CNRS/LIMSI (www.limsi.fr/venise/<http://www.limsi.fr/venise/>) and the Interactive Simulation Laboratory from CEA-List (www.kalisteo.fr/lsi/en<http://www.kalisteo.fr/lsi/en>)n>). The venue this year is the Campus Paris Saclay, slightly to the south of Paris, where numerous Universities, Engineering Schools, Research Institutes and Industrial Labs are currently being gathered. ------------------------------------------- TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS ------------------------------------------- * Scientific Track: original, unpublished long and short papers documenting new research contributions, practice and experience, or novel applications. * Industrial Track: best practices, project results and demonstrations of applications of VR/AR/MR in industry, and/or actual or potential transfers of academic results. * Poster Track: recently completed work, work in progress, or publicly presentable ideas for unimplemented and/or unusual systems or applications. * Demonstration and Exhibit Track: live demonstrations of past and on-going projects. Additionally, technology developers and suppliers, exhibitors, digital artists and members of the VR/AR/MR industrial communities are invited to exhibit and demonstrate the latest technologies and applications, in a dedicated exhibition area. This year, some scientific papers will be selected for common France-Japan sessions, shared between JVRC 2013 and ICAT 2013 through video conferencing connection. Additionally, two kinds of demonstrations are expected: * Regular demonstrations presented in the JVRC demonstration and exhibition hall. * Collaborative demonstrations associating teams and VR/AR/MR devices remotely located at JVRC and at ICAT. They will be delivered during a plenary joint session and a special call for these collaborative remote demos is being issued. ---------------------- SUBMISSIONS ---------------------- Submission of scientific papers is open.
