Submissions to all conference program categories have been closed. Visit the Final Program pages to see detailed information about the conference.


We invite participants to submit videos showing the results of VR-related research or applications, including efforts from 3D user interfaces and mixed or augmented reality. Videos describing work in a submitted paper are welcome. However, videos can and should also be submitted independently of a paper submission. Selected videos will be included in the Video Proceedings.

Videos should be able to stand on their own and adequately present their topic. They must be between 2 and 5 minutes long and be narrated in English. Each video must be accompanied by a one-page description including the title, a 200-word abstract, references, acknowledgments, and contact information with author names, affiliations and an email address for the lead author. Each submission should also include a representative still image.

The format of the video submissions should meet the requirements and quality expected of NTSC DVD-video.

When preparing the video, please make it as professional as possible. Producing a video already requires a significant amount of effort, and spending just a little more effort to raise the quality can make a big difference in how it is received.

Videos can ONLY be accepted in the following format:

Size: 720 x 480
Frame rate: 29.97 frames per second
Format: Quicktime NTSC DV codec

For more information, please see: http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vis/Tasks/video.html

Any variance to this formatting may result in not being included on the DVD due to our limited time to convert the files for the authors.

The deadline for video submissions is: January 5, 2009.

Videos submissions must be submitted via email to the Videos Chairs at vr-videochairs@ieee.org.
