ICIR2024 - IEEE 3rd International Conference on Intelligent Reality University of Coimbra 4-6 December 2024 <http://icir.isr.uc.pt> http://icir.isr.uc.pt Call for Papers Dear colleagues, we are very pleased to invite you to submit your latest research results, developments, and ideas to the IEEE 3rd International Conference on Intelligent Reality (ICIR2024), which will be held at the University of Coimbra, Portugal, from December 5th to 6th, 2024. After two previous successful events that were held exclusively online due to pandemic restrictions, this 3rd edition will be the first on a face to face format. It offers to the participants an opportunity to present their recent works and to take part in technical sessions, workshops, exhibition sessions, and thematic visits in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Coimbra. The IEEE 3rd International Conference on Intelligent Reality – is organised by the IEEE Digital Realities Technical Community, which in turn resulted from an IEEE Future Directions initiative sponsored by the following IEEE Organizational Units: IEEE Consumer Technology Society, IEEE Council on RFID, IEEE Electronics Packaging Society, IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, IEEE Reliability Society, IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, and IEEE Standards Association. The IEEE 3rd International Conference on Intelligent Reality (ICIR 2024) aims at identifying the challenges and opportunities inherent in deploying intelligent tools and interactive disruptive technologies into immersive environments. It provides a forum for leading researchers, industry professionals, and standards experts to share their research findings and ideas. Intelligent Reality (IR) advances human adoption of integrated Augmented, Virtual, and Mixed Reality (AR/VR/MR), with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning, Digital Twins, IoT, Robotics, Blockchain, Wearables, 5G, Internet of Everything, etc. It integrates AI-accelerated workflows, complex simulations, advanced visualizations, real-time analytics, and many other components to fuse the physical world with digital spaces, thus, enabling humans and machines to co-exist and leverage each other’s strengths. Authors are invited to submit original contributions on, but not limited to, the following areas and topics: Implementation of Emerging Technologies in Intelligent Reality Metaverse Development and implementation of AI techniques and algorithms to support Intelligent Reality Integrating AI/ML/Wearables/IoT/Internet of Everything/Robotics and other relevant disruptive technologies into Immersive Environments Converging real with virtual worlds Intelligent Reality environments encompassing real and artificial agents and elements Machine Learning and AI Interaction, Interoperability and Communication between Virtual Objects and the Real World Telepresence, Teleoperation, collaboration, and social interactions Web3, blockchain, decentralized computing 3D Models, Digital Avatars, Holograms, and limitations Multimodal and Multisensory Interfaces Intelligent Reality Science and Foundations Advanced Analytical Models Efficient neural network inference Engines, Transfer Learning Innovative Rendering Models Data interpretation and Explainability Evaluation Metrics and Methodologies Novel Quality Models Usability, UX, Quality of Experience User-Centred Design, User Interaction New Standards Intelligent Reality Technology and Infrastructure Neural Network Compression Point Cloud Data Extraction, Compression Immersive Visual Media: Omnidirectional, 360º, 3DoF, 6DoF, etc. Spatial Audio, 3D Surround Sounds Geometric Modelling and Design Advances in Olfactory Technologies Sensor Fusion Visual Analytics Rendering Techniques System Architectures, Design, and Deployment Software Techniques and Architectures Hardware, Accelerators, and Devices for Intelligent Reality AR Glasses, VR Headsets, other AR/VR/MR/XR Form-Factors, other Smart Devices Sensor technology in actuators, tactile, haptic, etc. for IR applications Network on Chip, System on Chip, Programmable Chip FPGA/CGRA/GPU/etc. accelerators for IR applications Programming models and platforms for accelerators Robotics – collaborative, humanoid, industrial, swarm robotics and their convergence with XR and combined applications in various real-life domains IoT and Internet of Everything Machine Vision, data capture, point cloud generation for IR applications Intelligent Reality Applications and Services Arts, Games, Leisure, Sports, and Entertainment E-commerce, Retail, Real Estate Geospatial & Urban Planning Tourism and Travel Education, Simulation, and Training Serious Games, Healthcare, Medicine, Therapy Transportation, Automotive, Aerospace Finance Manufacturing and Maintenance Industrial, Military, Emergency Response Communication and Collaboration Manufacturing and Occupational Safety Advertising & Marketing Government, Public Sector and Society in General Workforce continuous professional development-CPD (upskilling, reskilling) Security, Ethics, Privacy, and Trust in Intelligent Reality Research in Security, Privacy, Integrity, and Ethics and its importance in Intelligent Reality Techniques and Models for Fairness, Diversity, Transparency, and Interpretability/Explainability Experimental Studies of Fairness, Diversity, Inclusivity Accountability, and Transparency Personal Obfuscation Technology Fake and Misinformation Detection in IR Methods and approaches for algorithmic explainability in intelligent reality environments User Studies for Perception of Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency in Intelligent Reality environments Trade-offs between Transparency and Privacy Intrusion, Anomaly, Threat Detection Novel Threats, Attacks, Mitigations Social Connection and Concerns in Intelligent Reality Important Dates Full (8 pages) / Short (4 pages) Papers: Submission Due: October 4, 2024 Authors’ Notification: October 16, 2024 Camera-ready Version: October 28, 2024 Demonstrators (2 pages) : Submission Due: October 4, 2024 Authors’ Notification: October 18, 2024 Camera-ready Version: October 28, 2024
