ICAT-EGVE 2018
 28th International Conference on Artificial Reality and Telexistence
 23rd Eurographics Symposium on Virtual Environments

**** July 20, 2018: Paper submission deadline ****

=====================================================

The ICAT-EGVE 2018 conference will be held November 7th – 9th in
Limassol, Cyprus. This is the merger of the 28th International
Conference on Artificial Reality and Telexistence (ICAT 2018) and the
23rd Eurographics Symposium on Virtual Environments (EGVE 2018).

Together these are two of the oldest international conferences in the
world on Artificial Reality and Virtual Environments, and provide a
unique opportunity for researchers, developers, and users to share
their experience and knowledge of Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality,
Mixed Reality and 3D User Interfaces. This is a great opportunity to
renew old friendships, make new ones, and experience all that Cyprus
has to offer.

Limassol, a city counting centuries of history, is located between two
of the most renowned ancient kingdoms of the island, Amathus at the
east and Kourion at the west. “Lemessos” as it is called by locals, is
one of the fastest growing modern metropolises in Europe, with the
most distinct project being the Limassol Marina. The beautiful
coastline now covers a 15 kilometers distance, lined with hotels and
beach bars and cafes, interspersed with eucalyptus groves and linked
by a promenade popular with walkers and joggers.

ICAT-EGVE 2018 is organized by the newly established RISE Research
Center. The Research center on Interactive media, Smart systems and
Emerging technologies (RISE) aims to become a Center of Excellence and
a hub across the three continents bordering Cyprus, facilitating thus
the local scientific, technological, and economic growth of the
region.

ICAT-EGVE 2018 seeks original, high-quality papers describing
research, applications or systems in all areas of Virtual Reality,
Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality, Telexistence, and 3D User
Interfaces. Research papers should describe results that contributes
to advancements in the following areas:
- 3D interaction for VR/AR
- VR/AR systems and toolkits
- User studies and evaluation for VR/AR/MR
- Telexistence, Telepresence and Tele-immersion
- Haptics, audio, and other non-visual modalities
- Serious games and edutainment using VR/AR/MR
- Presence, cognition, and embodiment in VR/AR/MR
- Novel devices (both input and output) for VR, AR, MR, and haptics
- Multi-user and distributed VR, AR, tele-immersion and telepresence
- Immersive projection technologies and other advanced display technologies
Submissions in other related areas are welcome too.

All accepted papers will be published in the Digital Library of the
Eurographics.

We will accept submissions in three categories:
- Papers (Full or short)
