CALL FOR PAPERS ACM VRIC 2015 – Laval Virtual
Everything you ever wanted to tell about Virtual or Augmented Reality! Come and share your research, your experiences, your discoveries, your astonishment. VRIC Laval Virtual is the place to be to participate in the tremendous growth of Virtual and Augmented Reality technologies.
Submit a paper (long, short, poster) and come to present it in Laval (France) on April 8 - 10, 2015!
The annual VRIC - Laval Virtual conference is a
global forum for researchers and engineers from industry, academia and research
institutes to discuss and exchange ideas, methods and results on VR and AR uses
and technologies. The scope of the conference covers a variety of topics
ranging from theoretical developments to industrial applications and case
studies.
