EuroXR Association would like to cordially invite you to contribute to the 18th EuroXR International Conference – EuroXR 2021 – that the  CNR-STIIMA institute will organize the 24-26 November 2021 in Milano, ;

This conference follows a series of successful international conferences initiated in 2004 by the INTUITION Network of Excellence in Virtual and Augmented Reality, supported by the European Commission until 2008. Embedded within the Joint Virtual Reality Conferences (JVRC) from 2009 to 2013, it was known as the EuroVR international conferences from 2014 and until last year.

Apart from annually gathering the EuroXR members for the association life, the focus of EuroXR conference is on novel VR/AR/MR technologies, including software systems, display technology, interaction devices, and applications. Besides papers on the latest scientific results and highlights from many application fields, the EuroXR conference series aims at creating a unique human-dimension framework, interconnecting European and international XR communities, for knowledge cross-fertilisations between researchers, technology providers, and end-users.

Together we drive XR forward 

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.

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be presented respectively as long or short talks during the scientific talk sessions: such submissions target original, unpublished works documenting new research, practices and experience, novel applications in VR or AV/AR/MR, or sound States of the Arts on challenging research questions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 ongoing 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 , , or , to also submit a live demonstration with a related abstract to this Demo & Exhibition track. All accepted abstracts for the 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.
