The 24th IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (IEEE ISMAR 2025)

3rd Workshop on Seamless Reality:

AR Technologies for Seamless Perception and Cognition between Cyber and Physical Spaces

Daejeon, South Korea

Introduction

Following the success of the 2nd WSR at IEEE VR 2025 with 15 peer-reviewed papers and 1 invited keynote, we further explore the theme of "Seamless Reality." By the term we envision the seamless integration of cyber and physical spaces, following the development of VR/AR display technology and perception understanding.

We define "Seamless Reality" as a concept that seamlessly integrates physical perception with behavior and cognition between cyber and physical spaces. Through this workshop, we aim to promote research on the fundamental technologies for realizing Seamless Reality, including AR display systems that enhance the realism of virtual images, AR representation design applying insights from visual cognition and psychology, and physical interactions with AR representations based on changes in physical space and haptic feedback.

Submission Guidelines

All paper submissions must be in English and must comprise 6 pages maximum, NOT including references. We also welcome a short paper of 2 pages, not including references.

All Paper submissions must be prepared in IEEE VGTC Conference Style Papers (https://tc.computer.org/vgtc/publications/conference/) and submitted in PDF format. We highly encourage authors to use the LaTeX template. However, authors who choose to use the MS Word template should ensure that the PDF submission matches the PDF format template. We accept supplementary materials (document, image, and video format) with the submission.

The review process is single-blind. Starting with this workshop, we request that authors include a brief (2–4 sentences) statement, answering: “How does this work contribute to the realization of seamless reality in VR/AR?” in the submission system. This statement will help guide the review process and inform workshop session planning.

Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Digital Library within the IEEE ISMAR Abstract and Workshop proceedings. Please note that we considers papers of 3 or more pages to be archival. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register, attend, and present their work at 3rd WSR.
