CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The 2nd Symposium on Virtual Worlds Research (SVWR 2024)
Thursday, 30th of May 2024 | Staffordshire University, Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom
OVERVIEW

Virtual World Symposium aims at providing a collective update on the current state of Immersive Virtual Technologies across multiple disciplines. This is ranging from Games and Entertainment to Digital Heritage and Product Visualization, but not limited to. The Symposium’s goal is to provide an opportunity for knowledge sharing between these communities, discussing the Emerging Media and Transformation of the Creative Industries.

The Symposium invites speakers from various sectors to present their current or previous research in form of a 20-minute talk/presentation including a 10-minute Q&A

Additionally, the speakers have an opportunity to submit an extended version of their talks in form a research paper. SVWR 2024 seeks high-quality original papers in all relevant areas of Virtual/Augmented/Mixed Reality (VR/AR/MR), including digitization of real-world objects, human interaction, 3D user interface, applications of immersive technologies across various industries such as entertainment, education, culture, production, etc.

The event is hosted by the Staffordshire University Games Institute, and will take place on the 30th of May Thursday, 2024, from 9:00 to 17:00 in the Gallery, Catalyst Building, Staffordshire University.
