Call for Project and Research Papers

We invite participants to submit two different categories of submissions:

  • Project papers should describe interdisciplinary joint projects showing a collaboration between different related disciplinies, such as computer science, medicine, health, psychology etc.
  • Research papers should describe either position statements, preliminary research results, novel concepts, soft- and hardware solutions, or case studies, addressing the way in which VR/AR technologies can be leveraged to enhance healthcare. Our preference will be for submissions which seek to combine an understanding of VR technology with specific goals and methods for providing alternative or enhanced ways to improve the delivery and efficacy of healthcare. We solicit high quality, original research submissions in all areas related, but not limited to, the following topics: should contribute state-of-the-art advances and provide results as evidence.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Submissions should contain substantial scientific contributions to the fields mentioned in the call.

Papers should follow the VGTC conference templates . Word, LaTeX as well as a sample PDF can be found at: http://ieeevr.org/2019/contribute/formatting.html

If accepted, you will need to provide the source files and PDFs.

Papers should be 2 - 8 pages in length. AVEH 2019 will use a double-blind review process, in which both the authors and the reviewers remain anonymous to each other. Submissions must not contain information that unnecessarily identifies the authors, their institutions, or their places of work. Relevant previous work by the authors should be cited in the third person to preserve anonymity.

Papers must be submitted electronically, by the deadline above, through the EasyChair Conference System: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aveh2019

Note, if you have not used the EasyChair system before, you will need to register for an account by clicking “Signup” in the upper right corner of the website.

Authors of accepted papers will be expected to attend the workshop and present their work in person. At least one author per paper must register for the IEEE VR conference in a category that includes workshop attendance.

Note, Research papers will be submitted for inclusion in the IEEE VR Digital Library.
