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.

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• Scientific Track: original, unpublished long and short papers documenting new research contributions, practice and experience, or novel applications.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 non-academic application oriented research.
• 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.
