1st Workshop on Replication in Extended Reality (WoRXR)
IEEE ISMAR 2021
Monday, October 4
Overview
The 1st workshop on Replication in Extended Reality aims at bringing together researchers interested in replication of empirical research as well as algorithmic reproducibility inside and outside of the AR/VR/MR/XR community. Specifically, the workshop will start with introducing important concepts and case studies and then evolve into discussing position papers by participants.
Themes of the Workshop
Discuss the replication crisis in empirical science and its implications for experiments in extended reality.
Raising community awareness about the issues of replication and reproducibility.
Identify ways that the community could respond to the replication crisis.
Providing a platform for abstracts dealing with replication and reproducibility in extended reality.
Schedule
The workshop is planned as a half-day event. The tutorial sessions will be interleaved with discussion sessions as well as community-building sessions. The workshop will be held fully virtual. Participants will be able to join via video conference (Zoom).
