    Call for Conference Papers

ISMAR 2021, the premier conference for Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed 
Reality (MR), will be held on October 4-8, 2021 in Bari, Italy. Note 
that ISMAR changed its submission structure this year and offers three 
distinct calls for journals, papers, and posters. *This call is for 
submission to the conference paper track*. See theISMAR website 
<https://ismar21.org/new-this-year/>(https://ismar21.org/call-for-conference-papers/ 
<https://ismar21.org/call-for-conference-papers/>) for more information.


    Important Deadlines

  *

    May 24th, 2021: Conference Papers abstracts due (REQUIRED).

  *

    May 28th, 2021: Conference Papers submissions due.

  *

    July 23rd, 2021: Conference Papers notifications.

  *

    August 12th, 2021: Camera-ready papers due.

ISMAR is responding to the increasing 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 2021 will 
cover the full range of technologies encompassed by the MR continuum, 
from interfaces in the real world to fully immersive experiences.

ISMAR invites research contributions that advance AR/VR/MR technologies, 
collectively referred to as eXtended Reality (XR) technologies, and are 
relevant to the community. Each research paper should report a validated 
contribution covering one or more of four styles of papers as follows:

  *

    Methodological papers should describe advances in theories and
    methods of XR.

  *

    Technology papers should describe advancements in algorithms or
    devices critical to XR.

  *

    System papers should indicate how the developers integrated existing
    methods, algorithms, and technologies to produce an effective
    system, and convey any lessons learned in the process.

  *

    Application papers provide an important insight to the community by
    explaining how the authors built upon existing ideas and applied
    them to solve a relevant problem in a novel way.

We welcome papers that provide contributions in more than one of these 
areas. Authors need to select a primary designation during the 
submission process. Each paper should include an evaluation of its 
contributions appropriate to its type and the current COVID-19 situation 
(e.g., user study, case study, expert user feedback, system comparisons, 
technical benchmarking). We understand that many researchers are 
currently facing major challenges with regard to in-person user 
evaluation. Thus we encourage authors to find alternative ways to 
validate their contribution, such as employing expert reviews, online 
studies, or qualitative studies.

All accepted papers will be orally presented at the conference. 
Presentations should be in person if possible, though given the current 
situation with COVID-19 we expect to support authors presenting remotely.


    Submission Details

We welcome paper submissions from 4-8 pages excluding references. Paper 
quality versus length will be assessed according to a 
contribution-per-page judgment. All submissions will be accepted or 
rejected as conference papers or poster papers (see 1).

  *

    All accepted papers will have the opportunity to be presented as a
    demo/poster.

  *

    All accepted papers will be archived in the IEEE Xplore digital library.

(1) Note that the poster submission track will run in parallel to the 
conference paper submission track and there will not be a poster 
submission deadline after the conference paper notifications. The 
conference paper track cooperates with the poster track and may accept 
submissions based on the merit of their contribution as posters; see 
details in the Author’s Guidelines 
<https://ismar21.org/conference-author-guidelines/>.

Detailed submission and review guidelines are available on the 
conference website and the Guidelines section. Note that a paper 
abstract must be uploaded prior to the actual paper submission deadline 
(see submission deadlines). All paper submissions must be in English.
