We invite you to participate in the IEEE Virtual Reality 2008 conference in Reno, Nevada, USA, March 8-12, 2008. IEEE VR is co-located this year with the IEEE 3DUI Symposium (March 8-9), and the IEEE Haptics Symposium (March 13-14).

IEEE VR 2008 is the premier international conference and exhibition in virtual reality. It provides a unique opportunity to interact with leading experts in VR and closely-related fields such as augmented reality, mixed reality and 3D user interfaces. Share your own work and educate yourself through exposure to the research of your peers from around the world. And of course, there will be time to renew friendships, make new ones and experience the beauty of the snowy Sierra Nevada or tempt the odds in one of the many casinos.

We are seeking papers, posters, research and application sketches, videos, panels, workshops, tutorials, and research demonstrations on all VR-related topics. Conference topics include, but are not limited to:

• 3D interaction for VR
• VR systems and toolkits
• Augmented and mixed reality
• Computer graphics techniques for VR/AR
• Advanced display and immersive projection technology
• Distributed and collaborative VR
• Haptics, audio and other non-visual interfaces
• Tracking & Sensing
• Modeling and Simulation
• User studies and evaluation
• Presence and cognition
• Applications of AR/MR/VR

Instructions for final submission can be found here.
