Overview

We are planning a ½ day workshop and, if possible, a demonstration/installation area for the duration of the conference. The workshop would have with two sessions, each session having a longer keynote, a set of short presentations (5-8 minutes).

In this workshop, we are interested in:

• Demonstrations of older systems 

• Descriptions of hard to find demonstrations

• Show and tell of important hardware

• Descriptions of efforts to preserve or emulate VR systems

• Tools to enable archiving of VR demonstrations

By older systems, we are usually referring to pre-2000s. However, we are interested in any efforts to archive systems that are not current. We are interested both in seminal systems that are in collections, but also unusual demonstrations especially if they highlight capabilities or features that are not yet common in consumer VR systems.

We are interested in either:

• More formal abstracts, position statements or videos that can be published in the proceedings

Deadine 16th January 2024

• Less formal talks, videos or demonstrations that will not published in proceedings (publishing online optional)

Deadine 23rd February 2024

Workshop submissions must be submitted via email to the Workshop Chairs (archivingvr2024@gmail.com) by the given deadline. Interested contributors are encouraged to contact the chairs with any questions or to discuss potential experiences or demonstrations.

Each deadline is 23:59:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth) == GMT/UTC-12:00 on the stated day, no matter where the submitter is located.

We encourage two types of submission:

• A proposal for a talk, video, show and tell demonstration, or any other media for presentation at the workshop, but not for publication in the workshop proceedings: 1 page

In addition, we are very interested in anyone willing to bring in working demonstrations or just hardware from older systems. 

All written submissions for workshop proceedings should be formatted using VGTC format https://tc.computer.org/vgtc/publications/conference/. Submissions should be anonymized.
