 TITLE: IEEE VR 2013 Workshop on Immersive Volumetric Interaction (WIVI
2013)

            March 16, 2013 Orlando, FL


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++  ABSTRACT +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


There is a growing interest in interaction research of volumes for
immersive virtual environments

and immersive visualizations. Traditional interaction modalities may not be
sufficient to select and

manipulate multiple objects or data points or have the potential to
interfere with users’ sense of

immersion or workflow. Additionally, there is a strong interest in scaling
interfaces from the desktop

display to higher immersive display systems, therefore cost, availability,
and familiarity all play a

role in designing interaction. Solutions tend to be focused on separately
in these communities,

however we propose a common forum to openly discuss these issues and ideas
for solutions.


The IEEE VR 2013 Workshop on Immersive Volumetric Interaction is intended
to bring together

researchers, developers, and users from multiple communities in Virtual
Environments, 3D User

Interfaces, and Immersive Visualizations to discuss issues and share ideas
that relate to the process,

interaction modalities, hardware, software, interface constraints, and
users’ goals and workflow as

they relate to the problem of interacting with volumetric data in immersive
visualizations and/or

multiple objects defined as a volume in virtual environments. This workshop
will provide a forum

for presentations and energized discussions to initial new and exciting
developments in this area as

well as connections for collaborations among multiple research disciplines.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CALL FOR PAPERS ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Participants can submit papers (up to 6 pages, minimum of 2 pages)
describing positions, preliminary

research or evaluation results, prototypes, design work, works-in-progress
or applications in VR.

Papers should be prepared using the IEEE Computer Society format.
Submissions will be peer-reviewed

and authors of accepted papers will be invited to present at the workshop.
Demonstrations of prototype

interfaces, interaction modalities, and interactive immersive systems are
highly encouraged. Participants

providing a demonstration will be asked to submit a brief abstract and
short video.


DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: January 4, 2013


 NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE: January 7, 2013


 CAMERA READY: January 9, 2013, to be published in workshop proceedings


Submissions should be sent to: wivi2013organizers [at] googlegroups.com


 Please include authors, affiliation, and contact information when
submitting.

WORKSHOP DATE: Saturday March 16, 2013. For more details:
http://ieeevr.org/2013/program

Each deadline is by midnight PST on the stated day, no matter where the
submitter is located.

This workshop is suitable for a half-day of planned presentations of
accepted papers and focused

lively discussions. Possible issues for discussion, but not limited to, are
natural user interfaces,

interaction modalities, selection, manipulation, quality of immersion,
physical and cognitive

fatigue, low-cost immersive systems (input and output), user goals and
workflow, and analysis

tools. Technical requirements shall include a medium sized lecture space
complete with projector,

screen, and multiple microphones for speaker and audience members.
Additionally, there may be

a few demonstrations that might require additional power source and tables.


 +++++++++++++++++++++++ AUTHOR INSTRUCTIONS ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

* Submission for review: position statement papers or works-in-progress 2
to 4 pages, research papers of 4 to 6 pages

length. All submitted materials must be in PDF format with embedded fonts.
Camera-ready documents will be included

in the proceedings and will be archived in the IEEE Digital Library, and
therefore must be formatted using the IEEE

Computer Society format described at
http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vis/Tasks/camera.html. (Templates provided) Due to
short

time frame, we ask that you prepare your initial submission as close to
camera-ready as possible.


* Don’t forget to register! Authors with submissions are guaranteed access
to the workshop but must still

register. At least one author from each submission must register by
February 1, 2013 to assure

publication in the conference proceedings. Other participants are welcomed
and encouraged to register

and attend for the discussion, but attendance to these participants will be
limited to 30 participants on a

first-come-first serve basis. Registration:
http://ieeevr.org/2013/registration


  * Camera-ready version preparation: When submitting the camera-ready
version,

authors are requested to indicate:

         1) if they would like to have a hard-copy of the workshopmaterials

         2) if they allow to releasing their paper on the workshop webpage.
