Submission for present-your-lab session

Research groups specializing in virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, and 3D user interfaces are invited to submit proposals for the GI AR/VR Workshop. This opportunity allows you to present your lab, showcase ongoing research, and advertise available positions. The program committee will decide on acceptance. Submissions will not be published in the GI digital library. To participate, please submit a concise one-page PDF document comprising the following components:

• Group name and affiliation
• Lab webpage link, contact person, and email address
• Group overview, including information such as research domains, available resources, ongoing projects, collaborative endeavors with industry and academia, recent achievements, and illustrative media
• Current job openings (if applicable)

Submission of posters

Presenting a poster at the GI AR/VR Workshop is a fantastic opportunity to receive feedback on research that has yet to be published. Poster presentations will be an integral part of the workshop, with sessions dedicated to interactive discussions between presenters and attendees. Additionally, there will be a fast-forward presentation track where authors can orally summarize their work to all workshop attendees. The program committee will decide on acceptance. Submissions will not be published in the GI digital library. To participate, please submit an extended abstract (maximum 2 pages, incl. references) using the following template https://tc.computer.org/vgtc/publications/conference/ and a first draft of your poster.

Submission for the doctoral consortium

We invite early-stage PhD students (less than one year) to participate in our doctoral consortium. This unique opportunity offers a supportive environment where you can engage with peers and experts in your field, get feedback, and strengthen your research focus. The doctoral consortium will consist of a one-hour session behind closed doors, comprising 10-minute presentations and interactive discussions. The primary objective of this consortium is to provide participants with the opportunity to receive constructive feedback from experts in the field while also facilitating valuable networking interactions. The program committee will decide on acceptance. Submissions will not be published in the GI digital library. Please submit an extended abstract (max. 2 pages, incl. references) outlining your research in the following template: https://tc.computer.org/vgtc/publications/conference/
