EXTENDED DEADLINE AUGUST 24th: Due to multiple conflicting deadlines and the fact that many people are in the middle of an extensive examination period, we received many requests for a deadline extension. Therefore, the deadline for regular paper submission to ICAT 2013 has been extended to August 24th. =========================================================================== ICAT 2013: The 23rd International Conference on Artificial Reality and Telexistence, December 11-13, 2013, Miraikan, Tokyo, Japan http://www.ic-at.org/2013/ IMPORTANT DATES Papers: Submission Deadline: August 24, 2013 <- The deadline has been extended!!! Acceptance Notification: September 30, 2013 Camera-Ready Deadline: October 21, 2013 Posters and Demos: Submission Deadline : October 4, 2013 Acceptance Notification: October 18, 2013 Camera Ready Due : November 1, 2013 ICAT 2013 Conference: December 11-13, 2013 =========================================================================== ICAT (International Conference on Artificial Reality and Telexistence) is the oldest established international conference on Virtual Reality (VR) and Telexistence. Started in 1991, ICAT has annually brought together VR, MR, and Telerobotics researchers from around the globe. It has been held in different locations in Asia, Oceania, and Europe. VR and Telexistence have the potential to augment human ability in perception, understanding, and action in time and space. The technologies that are the focus of this research community also make it possible for humans to be seemingly anywhere at any given time, thus providing humans virtually ubiquitous impact and interaction possibilities. ICAT 2013 will not only look for innovations in VR technology itself, but also explore novel ways to express and transfer information and creative ideas to societies and their people. ICAT 2013 will include technical sessions covering traditional VR areas as well as new emerging areas with a lineup of plenary sessions, invited talks, technical tours, and technology/art exhibitions. The organizing committee cordially invites you to submit original technical work and experimental results related to Virtual Reality to this conference. Each submission will be refereed on the basis of technical quality, novelty, significance, and clarity. We invite contributions on a broad range of topics, such as Artificial Reality / Virtual Reality Teleoperation / Telepresence / Telexistence Augmented Reality / Mixed Reality Motion Tracking Real Time Computer Simulation Ubiquitous / Wearable Computing Visual and Auditory Displays Anthropomorphic Intelligent Robotics Software Architectures for VR Immersive Projection Technologies Retroreflective Projection Technologies (RPT) Tools for Modeling VR Systems Haptics Multi/Cross-Modal Interfaces Evaluation of VR Techniques and Systems Distributed and Collaborative VR Systems Augmented Humans Natural User Interfaces Brain-Machine Interfaces / Brain-Computer Interfaces Human Robot Interaction Medical VR/AR - Information for Authors ICAT 2013 uses a single-blind review process. Outstanding original paper submissions, as identified by the review process, will be accepted as oral presentations or poster presentations. Authors of accepted papers will be responsible for preparing a final camera- ready electronic version of their paper. The copyright of the final papers must be transferred to VRSJ (The Virtual Reality Society of Japan). Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings distributed on USB flash drives and archived on the ICAT webpage. The ICAT 2013 is supported by IEEE Technical Co-sponsorship. Accepted papers will be archived via IEEE Xplore after the conference. ICAT 2013 reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference. In particular, a paper accepted for the ICAT 2013 technical program will not be published at IEEE Xplore if its authors do not present the paper at the conference. - Submission Instructions Authors should submit papers through an electronic submission system, which will be announced at the conference URL: http://www.ic-at.org/2013/ Papers have to be written in English and can be of up to 8 pages in length. They must be formatted according to the IEEE Computer Society VGTC authoring guidelines: http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vis/Tasks/camera.html Authors can submit one ZIP file as supplemental material, including movies, images, etc. The maximum total storage size of the paper and the supplemental material will be announced with the submission instructions. - Organization Committee General Co-chairs: Susumu Tachi Masahiko Inami Program Co-Chairs: Hideo Saito Tobias Hollerer Christian Sandor Organizing Co-chairs: Maki Sugimoto Kouta Minamizawa For more information, please visit http://www.ic-at.org/2013/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
