SUBMISSION OPEN - https://www.euroxr.org/calls-and-guidelines/scientific-track


The EuroXR association (www.euroxr.org) would like to cordially invite you to contribute to the 21st EuroXRInternational Conference - EuroXR 2024.

This conference follows a series of successful international conferences initiated in 2004 by the INTUITION Networkof Excellence in Virtual and Augmented Reality, supported by the European Commission until 2008. Embedded
within the Joint Virtual Reality Conferences (JVRC) from 2009 to 2013, it was known as the EuroVR internationalconferences from 2014 and until 2020.

EuroXR 2024 will be hosted and co-organized by the Institute of Communication & Computer Systems (ICCS),Athens, Greece. This year, our International Conference will take place with in-person attendance, so you can expecta rich experience.

Beside Invited Keynote talks and plenary sessions for Scientific track, Application track, and Poster & Demo track in an Exhibition area, we will also welcome this year joint events related to several European projects in progress,
and especially the 1st annual meeting of the Alliance4XR ERASMUS+ project, and other special sessions for somesister projects of the HORIZON-CL4-2022-HUMAN-01-14 call.

Proceedings of the Scientific track of EuroXR 2024 will be edited by Springer Nature as a Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Therefore, such submissions and accepted contributions have to be uploaded thanks to the Online Conference Service (EquinOCS) of Springer.
Therefore, for all Scientific contributions, please use the following EquinOCS website:
https://equinocs.springernature.com/service/EuroXR2024

and scientific guidelines are available here:
https://www.euroxr.org/calls-and-guidelines/scientific-track

For further information, feel free to contact the Scientific Program Chairs of EuroXR 2024.

TYPE OF CONTRIBUTIONS

- Scientific track [OPEN NOW]: Papers (Long, Medium, or Short) must describe novel research results and will bepublished in a Springer LNCS volume (Lecture Notes in Computer Science). For your convenience, indexinginformation of LNCS series is available on this Springer webpage.

As in previous years, authors of the top papers will get an opportunity to submit an extended version to the journals Computers & Graphics or Frontiers in Virtual Reality.

- Application track [NOT OPEN YET]: Extended abstracts, which are meant to describe practical use cases of XR technologies

- Poster track [NOT OPEN YET]: Posters may present preliminary results or work-in-progress of research or application projects. They are submitted as an extended abstract.

- Demo track [NOT OPEN YET]: Demos may accompany any type of submission or may be submitted independently.

They are submitted as an extended abstract.

For all conference tracks, we seek original, high-quality contributions in all areas of eXtended Reality (XR) technologies, and thus related to Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and 3D User Interfaces. In these areas, submissions may address a wide range topics of interest, as listed in https://www.euroxr.org/topics-
euroxr2024.

Please note that the calls for contributions for each category are not opened at the same time:

Extended abstracts (2-4 pages) of accepted Application talks, or accepted Posters and Demos will be published in an
ISBN-registered proceedings, edited by VTT, Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd
