Ubiquitous computing accelerates the quality of services and user experience in our daily lives. With this paradigm, International Symposium on Ubiquitous Virtual Reality (ISUVR) has been a successful venue allowing professional researchers and students to share interdisciplinary research results and future research ideas about "Ubiquitous VR" with other researchers from different backgrounds. Thus, it would be timely to initiate a forum to discuss and share ideas on "Presence in Ubiquitous VR" which combines AR/MR/VR related technologies to feel physical and social existence for Ubiquitous VR systems/applications. The aim of this symposium is to facilitate intellectual exchange on working-in-progress research activities with the world's most active researchers invited to ISUVR 2013.



This year, we are pleased to invite you to participate in 8th International Symposium on Ubiquitous Virtual Reality (ISUVR 2013) with the theme "Presence in Ubiquitous VR", held July 10-13,2013 at KAIST, Daejeon, South Korea. The purpose of “Presence in Ubiquitous VR” in this symposium is combining various technologies to feel physical and social existence for Ubiquitous VR systems/applications.We invite original and innovative idea papers on related areas of Web 2.0, social computing,

context-awareness, ubiquitous-, mobile-, and wearable computing as well as computer graphics, computer vision, virtual reality and augmented reality. The following topics are welcomed, but are not limited to:
