Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) Call for Papers

Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR)

CALL FOR CONFERENCE PAPERS (ISMAR 2022, SINGAPORE, OCTOBER 17-21, 2022)
https://ismar2022.org/call-for-conference-papers/

ISMAR 2022, the premier conference for Augmented Reality (AR) and
Mixed Reality (MR), will be held in Singapore from October 17-21,
2022. Note that following the changes to the ISMAR submission
structure in 2021 we will again this year offer three distinct calls
for papers. These are for journal paper, conference paper and poster
paper tracks. This call is for submission to the conference paper
track. See the ISMAR journal paper track and poster paper track for
more information on those specific calls.

IMPORTANT DEADLINES
Abstract Deadline: May 27th, 2022 (23:59 AoE)
Paper Submission Deadline: June 3rd, 2022 (23:59 AoE)
Notification: August 3rd, 2022
Camera-ready version: August 22nd, 2022

ISMAR is responding to the increasing commercial and research
activities related to Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR) and
Virtual Reality (VR). ISMAR 2022 will this year continue to cover the
full range of technologies encompassed by the MR continuum, from
interfaces in the real world to fully immersive experiences.

ISMAR invites research contributions that advance AR/MR/VR,
collectively referred to as eXtended Reality (XR), technologies, and
are relevant to the community. Each research paper should report a
validated contribution covering one or more of four styles as detailed
below:

- Methodological papers should describe advances in theories and
methods of XR.

- Technology papers should describe advancements in algorithms or
devices critical to XR.

- System papers should indicate how the developers integrated existing
methods, algorithms, and technologies to produce an effective system,
and convey any lessons learned in the process.

- Application papers provide an important insight to the community by
explaining how the authors built upon existing ideas and applied them
to solve a relevant problem in a novel way.

We welcome papers that provide contributions in more than one of these
areas. Authors need to select a primary designation during the
submission process. Each paper should include an evaluation of its
contributions appropriate to its type and the current COVID-19
situation (e.g., user study, case study, expert user feedback, system
comparisons, technical benchmarking). We understand that many
researchers are still facing major challenges with regard to in-person
user evaluation. Thus we encourage authors to explore alternative ways
to validate their contribution, such as employing expert reviews,
online studies, or qualitative studies.

SUBMISSION DETAILS

We welcome paper submissions from 4-8 pages excluding
references. Paper quality versus length will be assessed according to
a contribution-per-page judgment. Depending on the outcome, papers
could be accepted or rejected as conference papers or poster papers.

- All accepted papers will have the opportunity to be presented as a
demo/poster.

- All accepted papers will be archived in the IEEE Xplore digital
library.  Detailed submission and review guidelines are available on
the conference website and the Guidelines section. Note that a paper
abstract must be uploaded prior to the actual paper submission
deadline (see submission deadlines). All paper submissions must be in
English.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

All topics relevant to and advancing AR,MR and VR are of interest. VR
papers are welcome regardless of their relevance to AR/MR. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:

- Camera and projector-camera calibration
- Collaborative XR interfaces
- Computer vision
- Content creation / authoring and content management.
- Conversational and speech interfaces.
- Display technologies (e.g., eyewear, smart watches, projectors)
- Ethics & social implications
- Ergonomics and human factors
- Haptics
- Human-computer interaction
- Immersive visual analytics and visualization techniques
- Localization, spatial registration and tracking
- Locomotion and navigation techniques
- Machine learning / artificial intelligence 
- Mediated and diminished reality
- Metaverse
- Multimodal input and output
- Multi-user systems, distributed and networked systems.
- Omnidirectional, immersive videos
- Perception
- Presence, body ownership, and agency
- Rendering techniques 
- Sensor fusion
- Spatial audio, auditory perception and psychoacoustics
- Spatial AR, projection mapping, projector-camera systems
- System & hardware architectures, real-time aspects. 
- Touch, tangible and gesture interfaces
- Social implications
- Technology acceptance
- Teleoperation and telepresence
- Toolkits and software architectures
- User experience, usability studies and human-subjects experiments
- Underwater & space XR technologies 
- 3D User interaction techniques 
- Video processing and streaming
- VR simulations of AR/MR/XR
- Visual effects / video processing
- Virtual humans and avatars
- XR applications from domains such as
  -- Architecture
  -- Art, cultural heritage, education and training
  -- Automotive, aerospace, and other engineering domains
  -- Entertainment, sports broadcast
  -- Health, accessibility, wellbeing, and medical applications
  -- Diversity and inclusion
  -- Industrial, military, emergency response
  -- Therapy and rehabilitation
  -- Underwater & space science
  -- XR for COVID
  -- Further domains not listed above
We also encourage authors to submit emerging applications,
technologies, and methodology papers addressing topics not listed
above.

OVERVIEW
ISMAR 2022, the premier conference for Augmented Reality (AR) and
Mixed Reality (MR), will be held on October 17-21, 2022. Note that
ISMAR offers three distinct calls for journals, papers, and
posters. This call is for submission to the conference poster
track. See the ISMAR website for more information.

IMPORTANT DEADLINES
Poster Paper Submission Deadline: June 20th, 2022
Notification: August 15th, 2022
Camera-ready version: August 22nd, 2022
ISMAR is responding to the increasing commercial and research
activities related to AR and MR and Virtual Reality (VR) by continuing
the expansion of its scope over the past several years. ISMAR 2022
will cover the full range of technologies encompassed by the MR
continuum, from interfaces in the real world to fully immersive
experiences.

ISMAR invites research contributions that advance AR/VR/MR
technologies, collectively referred to as eXtended Reality (XR)
technologies, and are relevant to the community.

The poster session is one of the highlights of ISMAR, where the
community engages in a discussion about the benefits and challenges of
XR in other research and application domains.

SUBMISSION DETAILS
We welcome paper submissions from 2-6 pages, including the list of
references. Poster papers will be reviewed on the basis of an extended
abstract, which can contain smaller contributions, late breaking
developments or in-progress work.

Please note that ISMAR further distinguishes poster papers of 2 pages
to be non-archival and poster papers of 3 or more pages to be
archival. This means that authors of 2 page poster papers can resubmit
longer versions of their accepted work, with additional details, at
later ISMAR conferences.

All submissions will be accepted or rejected as poster papers.  All
accepted papers will be archived in the IEEE Xplore digital library At
least one of the authors must register and attend the ISMAR 2022
conference to present the poster

The Poster track is co-aligned to the Conference Paper track, which
may accept some Conference Paper submissions as posters based on the
merit of their contribution. Detailed submission and review guidelines
are available on the conference website and the Guidelines section.

Note that All paper submissions must be in English.
