Virtual Reality Software and Technology

VRST 2022


Computer Graphics Computer Vision & Pattern Recognition



The ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology (VRST) is a premier international symposium for the presentation of new research results, systems, and techniques among researchers and developers on augmented, virtual and mixed reality (AR/VR/MR, XR for short) software and technology.
VRST brings together the main international research groups working on XR, along with many of the world’s leading companies that provide or utilize XR systems. VRST 2022 will be held in Tsukuba, Japan, from Wednesday, Nov. 29th to Friday, Dec. 1st, 2022. The event is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI and SIGGRAPH.

Submission Guidelines:
All accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library in the VRST collection.
Paper Format:
Paper submissions (applied for Full papers and Short Papers) should be anonymous for a double-blind review process. By contrast, Poster and Demo submissions do NOT have to be anonymous, and these submissions will be juried by committee members and receive light feedback (up to a few paragraphs in length). All submissions should be prepared in **a single column format**, using the Word or LaTeX templates from the official ACM Master article template packages and TAPS (see https://authors.acm.org/proceedings/production-information/taps-production-workflow). Authors should prepare their materials using numbered citations and references. See the TAPS webpage for guidance on how content length corresponds to the page limits for the final version.
Submission Lengths:
- Full paper: Up to a maximum of 9 pages double column excluding references.
- Short paper: Up to a maximum of 4 pages excluding references.
- Poster / Demo: Up to a maximum of 2 pages double column including references.
