Call For Papers

The ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology (VRST) is
an international forum for the exchange of experience and knowledge
among researchers and developers concerned with virtual reality
software and technology. VRST will provide an opportunity for VR
researchers to interact, share new results, show live demonstrations
of their work, and discuss emerging directions for the field. The
event is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI and SIGGRAPH.

VRST 2012 will be held downtown in Toronto, Canada. Toronto is an
international business hub, a commercial capital, one of the top
financial centres in the world, and is a major player in almost every
economic sector. It features a very diverse and multicultural
population of more than 6 million in the metropolitan area. As a
result, Toronto has great shoppin, offers a wide variety of food
choices, and cultural experiences. The conference will be hosted by
the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. VRST 2012 aims at
bringing together VR researchers from around the world to present the
state-of-the-art advances in this ever-growing dynamic area.

We invite you to participate in the ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality
Software and Technology (VRST) 2012. ACM VRST 2012 seeks original,
unpublished papers documenting original research contributions,
practice and experience, or novel applications, from all areas of
virtual, mixed and augmented reality.

The VRST technical program consists of high quality technical papers
that are reviewed and selected by an international program committee.
Papers are solicited on all technical aspects of Virtual Reality and
related technologies, including but not limited to the following
topics:
- Systems (see also below)
- Interaction Techniques
- Modeling and Simulation
- Collaborative / Networked Virtual Environments
- Real-Time Rendering
- Augmented Reality
- Input / Output Devices
- Human Factors
- Haptics & Audio Interfaces
- Applications of Virtual Reality, such as Training Systems and Serious Games

This year the conference will feature a special track on VR Systems
papers. This track will focus on
- Architectures, Frameworks, and System Design
- Reusability, Extensibility, and Adaptivity
- Performance Testing & Evaluation

Submissions are sought that describe original, unpublished work on the
conference topics. VRST 2012 uses an anonymous submission process for
paper submissions. Conference proceedings will be published in the ACM
Digital Library. Please follow the style guidelines
onhttp://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates for
formatting your paper. We invite both long and short paper
submissions, where short papers are up to 4 pages and long papers up
to 8 pages. A link to the electronic submission system will be
published in the future.

Long & short paper submission deadline: July 15, 2012.
Notification deadline: August 31, 2012.
Posters and demos: September 30, 2012.
