Call for Papers: ICAT-EGVE 2026 - International Conference on
Artificial Reality and Telexistence & Eurographics Symposium on
Virtual Environments
Conference: September 30th and October 2nd, 2026 at Goiânia, Brazil
https://icat-egve2026.inf.ufg.br/
The ICAT-EGVE 2026 conference will be held between September 30th and
October 2nd, 2026, at the Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG),
Goiânia, Brazil. The ICAT-EGVE is the merger of the 36th International
Conference on Artificial Reality and Telexistence (ICAT 2026) and the
31st Eurographics Symposium on Virtual Environments (EGVE 2026).
Together, these are two of the oldest international conferences in the
world on Artificial Reality and Virtual Environments.
This year ICAT-EGVE will be colocated with three major Brazilian
conferences organized by the Brazilian Computing Society (SBC): 28th
Symposium on Virtual and Augmented Reality (SVR); 39th Conference on
Graphics, Patterns and Images (SIBGRAPI), and 25th Brazilian Symposium
on Games and Digital Entertainment (SBGames). It is a great
opportunity to foster international collaboration.

work, preliminary results, or unusual systems and applications.
ICAT-EGVE 2026 seeks inspiring submissions describing research,
applications, or systems in all areas of Virtual Reality, Augmented
Reality, Mixed Reality, Telexistence, and 3D User Interfaces, e.g.,
the following non-exhaustive list of more specific areas:
* 3D interaction for VR/AR/MR
* VR/AR/MR systems and toolkits
* User studies and evaluation for VR/AR/MR
* Telexistence, Telepresence, and Teleimmersion
* Haptics, audio, and other non-visual modalities
* Serious games and edutainment using VR/AR/MR
* Presence, cognition, perception, and embodiment in VR/AR/MR
* Novel devices (both input and output) for VR/AR/MR, and haptics
* Multi-user and distributed VR/AR/MR, Tele-immersion, and Telepresence
* Immersive projection technologies and other advanced display technologies
* Submissions in other related areas are welcome too.
Submission Guidelines
The following are the guidelines for the submission of full and short papers:
* Full papers must not exceed eight (8) pages in length (excluding references).
* Short papers must not exceed four (4) pages in length (excluding references).
* Both full and short papers must be in English and should be
formatted using the Eurographics format.
* ICAT-EGVE uses a double-blind review process. Therefore, submissions
should not contain information (including citations and optional
videos) that unnecessarily identifies the authors or their
institutions or places of work. All papers must be submitted
electronically as a PDF. Authors are encouraged to submit videos to
aid the program committee in the review of their submissions.
* The conference uses the EG submission tool. All submissions should
be made through the online submission system SRMv2.
* Submissions should be original, unpublished work and should not be
in submission to other venues concurrently. Any dual submission will
be rejected outright without review.
* For a policy regarding arXiv, the following guidelines will be
followed:
https://eg25.cs.ucl.ac.uk/main/arxiv-policy.html
* We accept submitting optional supplemental material whose size is
under 700MB (following the double-blind review process).
* All the details about submission and the submission system link will
be available in the ICAT-EGVE website:
https://icat-egve2026.inf.ufg.br/
Submission of Posters and Demos
Please note that there is a separate submission portal for our Posters
and Demos programme. For details, please see the Call for Posters and
Demos on the website.
Review and Publication
* All accepted Papers/Posters/Demos will be published in the
Eurographics Digital Library and presented interactively at the
conference.
* All Papers/Posters/Demos submissions will undergo a double-blind
review process and be selected by the responsible chairs for
presentation at the conference based on the reviews.
* Upon acceptance, the camera-ready version of the submission will be
included in the electronic proceedings, provided potential reviewer
comments are appropriately addressed.
* A selection of the best papers at ICAT-EGVE 2026 will be invited to
submit an extended version (for peer review) in a Special Section to
the Computers & Graphics journal after the conference.
