Traditionally sponsored by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC), SVR is the major event on Virtual and Augmented Reality in Brazil, having established itself as an international scientific forum for the exchange of experience and knowledge among researchers, professionals, practitioners, students and developers concerned with research and development of virtual, augmented and mixed reality systems.

Stimulating, original and innovative research papers as well as case studies and applications in the general field of virtual and augmented reality are encouraged to be submitted.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

VR/AR systems and toolkits
Rendering techniques
Advanced optical display technology
Multi-user and distributed VR/AR and gaming
3D interaction
Haptics, audio and other non-visual interfaces
Tracking & Sensing
Modeling and Simulation
Hardware graphics acceleration
Virtual humans and avatars
Internet-based 3D applications and technologies
Immersive VR/AR and gaming
Presence and cognition
Social, economical and technical impacts of VR/AR
User studies and evaluation
Applications of VR/AR/MR

Full papers must have a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 10 pages. Short papers must have a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 pages. Papers must be submitted electronically using the IEEE formatting guidelines (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting) and should be written in English (preferentially) or Portuguese.

After a rigorous double-blind peer review process, the selected papers will be published in the conference proceedings, which will be available online at IEEE Xplore.
