With the advance of VR/AR technology, more and more VR/AR applications are emerging and have been popular among new users. To facilitate user interaction with the systems, multi-modal input modalities are required. Furthermore, coherent integration of multiple realistic sensations can increase the level of realism, and therefore creates a truly immersive VR/AR experience. However, a lack of robust and intuitive interaction interfaces and realistic sensations hinders users' experience for achieving a fascinating acceptance in various application areas of VR/AR interactions. This workshop discusses the challenges and applications of designing a higher coherence between the different input modalities and sensations to provide more engaging VR/AR experiences by leveraging the advances of both VR/AR software and hardware to improve user experience.
Submission Guidelines
The papers need to be with a maximum length of 5 pages (4-page + 1-page references) in ACM SIGCHI Master Article template. ACM Template can be found here. The accepted papers will be published in the UbiComp/ISWC Adjunct Proceedings, which will be included in the ACM Digital Library.
Best Paper Award
The Best Paper Award is given to the best paper presented at the MIMSVAI 2021 workshop, to acknowledge and encourage excellence in research. The awardee will be presented with a certificate at the workshop.
