18th IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality

ISMAR 2019


Computer Graphics Computer Vision & Pattern Recognition



CALL FOR PAPERS
Note: All submissions are made via the PCS system. Please see the Submission Guidelines for additional details.
ISMAR, the premier conference for Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR), will come to China for the first time in its history of more than 20 years.ISMAR 2019 will be held on October 14-18 in Beijing, China.
ISMAR is responding to the recent explosion of commercial and research activities related to AR and MR and Virtual Reality (VR) by continuing the expansion of its scope over the past several years. ISMAR 2019 will cover the full range of technologies encompassed by the MR continuum, from interfaces in the real world to fully immersive experiences. This range goes far beyond the traditional definition of AR, which focuses on precise 3D tracking, visual display, and real-time performance.
We specifically invite contributions from areas such as Computer Graphics, Human-Computer Interaction, Psychology, Computer Vision, Optics, and in particular VR, and how these areas contribute to advancing AR / MR / XR / VR technology.
Important Deadlines
●Submission Deadline: 15th March 2019 (23:59 AoE)
●Final Notification: 3rd June 2019
●Camera-ready version: 2nd July 2019
Submission Details
There is only one paper submission category, from 4 to 10 pages (excluding references). Papers ready for journal publication will be directly published in a special issue of IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG). Other accepted papers will be published in the ISMAR proceedings. Paper quality versus length will be assessed according to a contribution-per-page judgment.
●All accepted papers will be orally presented at the ISMAR conference.
●All accepted papers will have the opportunity to be presented as a demo.
●All accepted papers will have the opportunity to be presented as a poster.
●All accepted papers will be archived in the IEEE Xplore digital library.
Detailed submission and review guidelines are available on the conference website and the Guidelines section. Poster submissions will be accepted as usual with a submission date to be announced later.
Topics of Interest
All topics relevant to AR, VR and MR are of interest. Note that VR papers are also welcome regardless of their relevance to AR/MR. For brevity AR/MR/VR are subsumed under XR. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
