CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS (NEW DATES!)
17th EuroVR International Conference
25-27 November 2020
Immersive Neurotechnologies Lab, Valencia (LabLENI), Spain
************************************************************************
We are pleased to announce the 17th EuroVR International Conference - EuroVR 2020 - planned on 25-27 November 2020 in Valencia, Spain. This conference follows a series of successful European VR/AR conferences taking place since 2004 and known as INTUITION, JVRC and recently EuroVR (Bremen 2014, Lecco 2015, Athens 2016, Laval 2017, London 2018, and Tallinn 2019). The Immersive Neurotechnologies Lab (LabLENI) of the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), Spain, is organizing the 2020 edition of this conference.
EuroVR 2020 will bring together people from research, industry, and commerce. Its attendees include technology developers, suppliers, and all those interested in Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), including Augmented Virtuality (AV) and Augmented Reality (AR), and more generally 3D user interfaces, to exchange knowledge and share experiences, new results and applications, enjoy live demonstrations of current and emerging technologies, and form collaborations for future work.
TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS
As the past year, all contributions are organized in three main tracks, as follows.
1) Scientific track contributions are managed by Springer, and not on EasyChair. For more information, please visit the conference website.
2) Application track contributions can be:
a) Application talk (2-4 pages abstract): best practices, practical use cases of VR orAV/AR/MR, project results of applications using such technologies in industry and other sectors, actual or potential transfers of academic results, and position papers.
b) Application poster (2-4 pages abstract): recently completed VR or AV/AR/MR applied work, application in progress, or unusual applications.
For this track, the Application Program chairs will manage the full review/acceptation process of two types of contributions (Application talk vs. Application poster).
3) Demo & Exhibition track (2-4 pages abstract): live demonstrations of past and on-going projects. Technology developers and suppliers, exhibitors, digital artists, and members of the commercial VR or AV/AR/MR communities are all invited to exhibit and demonstrate the latest technologies and applications.
For this track, the Demo & Exhibition chairs will manage the full review/acceptation process of this type of contributions.
Moreover, we highly encourage all authors submitting any kind of contribution to 2.a or 2.b, to also submit a live demonstration and so a related abstract to this Demo& Exhibition track.
All accepted abstracts for Application track and Demo & Exhibition track will be published in the Application proceedings of EuroVR 2020 as an ISBN-registered volume edited by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd.
JOURNAL INVITATION AND AWARDS
In addition, a set of the best accepted contributions will be selected by a special committee structured according to the categories of the Scientific and Application tracks, to invite the authors of the selected contributions to submit an extended version to the open access journal Frontiers in Virtual Environments.
Last but not the least, based of the work of the same special committee, best awards will be decided for each contribution category within each track. More information on the EuroVR best awards procedure will be available soon on the EuroVR 2020 website, as well as the winners of previous years.

COVID-19 CONTINGENCY PLAN
In case a physical attendance of the conference will not be feasible due to Covid-19, we will publish all accepted papers as stated above, and EuroVR 2020 will be held as a virtual conference that will allow all authors to deliver remote presentations of their work.
In case the physical conference is possible, we encourage oral presentations with physical presence at the conference venue.
However, if some of you are unable to attend the conference due to personal issues related to Covid-19 (individual medical reason or national regulatory restrictions clearly justified), but still wish to have your paper presented and published, we will offer remote presentations for your convenience.
For virtual conference and remote presentations, technical details as specific registrations fees will be provided in due time on the website.
