[General] Call for Contributions to EuroVR 2014

Call for Contributions to EuroVR 2014 The European Association for Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality (www.eurovr-association.org) announces the 2014 edition of its annual conference, EuroVR. The Conference The EuroVR 2014 conference follows up on the previous issues of the Joint Virtual Reality Conferences (JVRC) 2009 through 2013, with a new format. Expanding on the success of JVRC, EuroVR 2014 is designed as a communication and networking event for the industrial and scientific communities in virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality (VR/AR/MR) to exchange scientific research, novel developments in technology, real-world use-cases, and best practices. In addition, the conference will be co-located with the 24th International Conference on Artificial Reality and Telexistence (ICAT) and the 20th Eurographics Symposium on Virtual Environments (EGVE).. Call for Contributions We invite the submission of presentations describing novel research, leading-edge technology, innovative applications, customer needs, best practices, and R&D project results in the areas of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). We welcome submissions from both industry and academia, and in a range of formats spanning the following categories: - Paper: 4-6 pages - Poster plus, optionally, short paper of 1-2 pages - Demos (video or live presentation) plus, optionally, short paper of 1-2 pages - Oral presentation plus, optionally, handout All contributions must be presented by at least one of the authors at the conference. Topics EuroVR 2014 seeks original, high-quality submissions in all areas related, but not necessarily restricted to: - Novel devices (both input and output) for VR, AR, MR, and haptics - VR system architectures - Collaborative and distributed VR - Augmented reality and mobile devices - Novel ways for applying VR/AR/MR, etc. - Perception and human factors - Multi-modal and 3D interaction - Presence, cognition, and embodiment in VR/AR/MR - Haptics, audio, and other non-visual modalities - Cyber sickness and other issues - Tracking, sensing, and processing sensor data - Tele-operation, tele-immersion, tele-presence - Novel data flow architectures - Cost effectiveness and cost efficiency - Serious games and edutainment using VR/AR/MR - Applications in manufacturing and engineering, aerospace, logistics, construction and architecture, medical and rehabilitation, training and education, cultural heritage, etc. Details about the submission procedure can be found on the conference web page: http://eurovr14.uni-bremen.de Publication Accepted submissions that consist of or are complemented by a paper will be published in the conference proceedings with an ISBN number.
