Since 1993, the IEEE Virtual Reality conference has been the premier
international venue for the presentation of research results in the broad area
of virtual reality (VR). Similarly, the IEEE Symposium on 3D User Interfaces
(3DUI), which started as a workshop at IEEE VR in 2004, has become the premier
venue for 3D user interfaces and 3D interaction in VR environments. This year VR
and 3DUI have been merged into a single IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and
3D User Interfaces, with the short name IEEE VR.

TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS
IEEE VR 2018 features two categories of submissions: (i) VR Papers, and (ii) VR
Notes. Both categories have their own program committees, submission processes,
and review processes.

VR Papers: Submissions to this category should be 8–10 pages in length, and
should contain substantial scientific contributions to the field of VR and 3D
user interfaces, and when appropriate provide complete and substantial support
for results and conclusions. All accepted VR Paper submissions will
automatically be published in a special issue of IEEE Transactions on
Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG) and will also include an oral
presentation at IEEE VR.

VR Notes: Submissions to this category should be 4–8 pages in length, and would
typically reflect a more narrow (yet still significant) scope of contribution
than VR Papers. VR Notes are not expected to cover all aspects of a typical
journal article, instead they may cover one or two specific areas in depth, or
relatively early work. The submission deadline for VR Notes will be after the
notification for VR Papers submissions. All accepted VR Notes submissions will
also include an oral presentation at IEEE VR.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
IEEE VR 2018 seeks original, high-quality research, application and systems
papers in all areas related to virtual reality (VR), including augmented reality
(AR), mixed reality (MR), and 3D user interfaces (3DUIs). Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
• Tracking and sensing
• Input devices for VR/AR/MR
• Advanced display technology
• Immersive projection technology
• Haptics, audio, and other non-visual interfaces
• Modeling and simulation
• Computer graphics techniques for VR/AR/MR
• Virtual humans and avatars
• Multi-user and distributed VR/AR/MR
• VR systems and toolkits
• Locomotion and navigation in virtual environments
• User studies and evaluation
• Perception, presence, virtual embodiment, and cognition
• Teleoperation and telepresence
• Applications of VR/AR/MR
• Ethical issues in VR/AR/MR
• Interactive storytelling in 360° videos
• 3D interaction for VR/AR/MR
• 3DUI metaphors for VR/AR/MR
• Mobile, Desktop or Hybrid 3DUIs
• Non-fatiguing 3DUIs
• Evaluation methods for 3DUIs
• Empirical studies of 3DUIs
• Applications of 3DUIs: Games, entertainment, CAD, education, etc.
