IEEE ISMAR 2016 Workshop on Collaboration in Mixed Reality Environments (CoMiRe)
September 22, 2016
Merida, Mexico
https://comire16.wordpress.com

Submission deadline: July 1, 2016

As the world becomes more complex, problem solving increasingly requires teams of experts to work together at the same location or at different ones. To support this, we need collaborative tools, and a variety of teleconferencing and telepresence technologies have been developed to address this need. However, most of them involve some variation of traditional video conferencing, which has limitations, such as not being able to effectively convey spatial cues or share the user’s task space. This workshop will focus on how these limitations can be overcome by using Mixed Reality (MR) technology, leading to the development of radically new types of collaborative experiences.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

The workshop will address open research issues, including, but not limited to:

• Case studies using MR for collaboration
• Concepts and interaction models for MR collaboration
• Presence, awareness, and coordination in collaborative MR systems
• Methods for evaluating collaborative MR systems
• Effective user interfaces for mixed groups with multiple co-located and remote collaborators
• Robust collaborative MR user interfaces that can address connectivity problems
• Measures of engagement, embodiment, flow & spatial awareness

Workshop: Graphical and Robotic Embodied Agents for Therapeutic Systems – GREATS16
Workshop at IVA 2016, 20th September 2016, Institute for Creative Technologies, USC, Los Angeles
http://iva2016.ict.usc.edu

Submission deadline: 7th July 2016

OVERVIEW

Social robots and intelligent graphical agents have both been applied to a growing number of health applications. While looking at health applications in general, this workshop seeks to focus on those aimed at diagnosis and treatment of specific conditions, i.e therapeutic applications, and training for doctors in these fields. Topics include the application of specific psychotherapies, work on treating disorders such as autism or ADHD, and support for people with depression, dementia and other long-term conditions.

This workshop will consider both the range of applications, and specific issues and questions arising from them, for example:

• What features and processes make a therapeutic application successful?
• What specific issues relate to diagnosis, and what to treatment?

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

The Experimental AI in Games (EXAG) workshop aims to foster experimentation at the interface of AI (broadly construed) and all aspects of games and game development. EXAG solicits submissions in three tracks:

• Papers arguing for new roles of AI in games and game development or presenting prototypes of experimental applications of AI in games and game creation
• Tutorials – short talks that introduce new ideas, teach people to use new tools or libraries, or describe useful resources
• Demonstrations of innovative tools, games, art or other creations in and around experimental AI and games

We have much more planned for EXAG besides talks, including our traditional games night, a show and tell demo session, a revamped game jam, and possibly some special game events!… read more. “Call: Experimental AI in Games Workshop (EXAG 2016) at AIIDE 2016”

ICAT-EGVE 2016
26th International Conference on Artificial Reality and Telexistence
21st Eurographics Symposium on Virtual Environments

Sept 30, 2016: Paper submission deadline
Oct 12, 2016: Poster Submission Deadline
Oct 19, 2016: Demo Submission Deadline

http://icat-egve-2016.org/

ICAT-EGVE 2016 is the merger of the 26th International Conference on Artificial Reality and Telexistence (ICAT 2016) and the 21st Eurographics Symposium on Virtual Environments (EGVE 2016). ICAT-EGVE 2016 will be held in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA, from December 7th to 9th 2016.

We are fortunate to have been able to secure an exceptional venue for this event: the conference will be held at the Clinton Presidential Library.

This international event will be a unique opportunity for researchers, developers, and users to share their experience and knowledge of virtual reality, as well as augmented reality, mixed reality and 3D user interfaces. And, of course, it is a good time to renew old friendships, make new ones, and experience all that Little Rock has to offer.… read more. “Call: ICAT-EGVE 2016 – International Conference on Artificial Reality and Telexistence and Eurographics Symposium on VEs”
