Call for Papers

We are pleased to announce the 18th EuroXR International Conference - EuroXR 2021 - planned on 24-26 November 2021 in Milano, Italy. This conference follows a series of successful European VR/AR conferences taking place since 2004.

EXTENDED DEADLINES After a number of requests, the Scientific Program chairs are pleased to inform you that deadlines for Scientific contributions at EuroXR 2021 have been extended as follow:  All Scientific submissions (Full papers & Short papers): July 26, 2021, 23:59 CEST  Notifications to the authors for all Scientific submissions: Sept. 6, 2021, 23:59 CEST  Camera ready for all Scientific contributions: Sept. 13, 2021, 23:59 CEST (no change) Please note that no change is planned for the deadlines of the Application track and Demo & Exhibition track of EuroXR 2021. 

COVID-19 CONTINGENCY PLAN In case a physical attendance of the conference will not be feasible due to Covid-19, we will publish all accepted papers as stated above, and EuroXR 2021 will be held as a virtual conference that will allow all authors to deliver remote presentations of their work. In case the physical conference is possible, we encourage oral presentations with physical presence at the conference venue. However, if some of you are unable to attend the conference due to personal issues related to Covid-19 (individual medical reason or national regulatory restrictions clearly justified), but still wish to have your paper presented and published, we will offer remote presentations for your convenience. For virtual conference and remote presentations, technical details as specific registrations fees will be provided in due time on the website of the conference. For any further information, please consult the EuroXR 2021 website (https://www.euroxrassociation.org/conference2021/).

TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS All contributions are organized in three main tracks, for some divided in two categories as follows. 1) Scientific track submissions can be: a) Full papers – either Long (14-20 pages) or Medium (8-12 pages) sizing - to be presented respectively as long or short talks during the scientific talk sessions: such submissions target original, unpublished works documenting new research, practices and experience, novel applications in VR or AV/AR/MR, or sound States of the Arts on challenging research questions in that field. b) Short papers (4-6 pages) to be presented during the scientific poster sessions: such submissions target works in progress or other scientific contributions including ideas for unimplemented and/or unusual VR or AV/AR/MR systems. All scientific paper submissions must be in one-column Springer format, and indicated paper lengths do not include references. The Scientific Program chairs will be in charge to select the accepted contributions of the both above categories, thanks to a double blind peer reviewing process among an International Program Committee (IPC). All accepted scientific papers will be published with the sizing (Long/Medium or Short) corresponding to their categories in the Scientific proceedings of EuroXR 2021, edited by Springer as a volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. For your convenience, indexing information of LNCS series is available on this Springer webpage. 2) Application track contributions can be: a) Application talk (2-4 pages abstract): best practices, practical use cases of VR or AV/AR/MR, project results of applications using such technologies in industry and other sectors, actual or potential transfers of academic results, and position papers. b) Application poster (2-4 pages abstract): recently completed VR or AV/AR/MR applied work, application in progress, or unusual applications. For this track, the Application Program chairs will manage the full review/acceptance process of two types of contributions (Application talk vs. Application poster). 3) Demo & Exhibition track (2-4 pages abstract): live demonstrations of past and on-going projects. Technology developers and suppliers, exhibitors, digital artists, and members of the commercial VR or AV/AR/MR communities are all invited to exhibit and demonstrate the latest technologies and applications. For this track, the Demo & Exhibition chairs will manage the full review/acceptance process of this type of contribution. Moreover, we highly encourage all authors submitting any kind of contribution to categories 1.a, 1.b, 2.a or 2.b, to also submit a live demonstration with a related abstract to this Demo & Exhibition track. All accepted abstracts for Application track and Demo & Exhibition track will be published in the Application & Demo proceedings of EuroXR 2021 as an ISBN-registered volume edited by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd.
