User-Embodied Interaction in Virtual Reality


Overview

We invite you to participate in the 1st Workshop on User-Embodied Interaction in Virtual Reality (UIVR) 2019, which will be co-located with Mensch und Computer (MuC) 2019 in Hamburg, Germany on September 8-11, 2019. We seek papers describing original research, work in progress, as well as novel applications and systems from all areas of embodied user interaction in virtual environments. The workshop focuses on challenges related to virtual embodiment for single users and collaborative virtual environments and provides a platform for discussions spanning the virtual reality and human-computer interaction research communities.
