Abstract submission deadline: June 5, 2023
Paper submission deadline: June 12, 2023

OVERVIEW

We invite you to the 22nd IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR), which will be held from October 16 to 20, 2023 in Sydney, Australia.

IEEE ISMAR is the premier conference for Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR) and Virtual Reality (VR), which attracts the world’s leading researchers from both academia and industry. ISMAR explores the advances in commercial and research activities related to AR, MR, and VR by continuing the expansion of its scope over the past several years. The conference is planned to include two days of workshops, tutorials, and contests, and three days of presentations of scientific papers, posters, and demonstrations. In addition, exhibitions will be arranged to promote the interactions and exchange between industry and academia.

ISMAR 2023 is planned to be hosted in hybrid mode. We look forward to seeing all of you in Sydney.

Note we will again this year offer distinct calls for papers. These are for journal papers, conference papers and poster papers. This call is for submission to the conference paper track [visit ismar23.org for the others –Matthew].

IMPORTANT DEADLINES

  • Abstract Deadline: June 5th, 2023 (23:59 AoE)
  • Paper Submission Deadline: June 12th, 2023 (23:59 AoE)
  • Notification: August 9th, 2023 (23:59 AoE)
  • Camera-ready version: August 25th, 2023 (23:59 AoE)

ISMAR is responding to the increasing commercial and research activities related to XR. ISMAR 2023 will this year continue to 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 XR, technologies, and are relevant to the community. Each research paper should report a validated contribution covering one or more of four areas as detailed below:

  • 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.

Authors need to select a primary designation during the submission process. Each paper should include an evaluation of its contributions appropriate to its type (e.g., user study, case study, expert user feedback, system comparisons, technical benchmarking). We understand that many researchers are still facing major challenges regarding in-person user evaluation. Thus, we encourage authors to explore alternative ways to validate their contribution, such as employing expert reviews, online studies, or qualitative studies.

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. Depending on the outcome papers could be accepted or rejected as conference papers or could be suggested as a poster paper.

  • 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.
  • All accepted papers will be subject to the registration and publication processing policy of ISMAR 2023.

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 and left blind for review.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

All topics relevant to and advancing AR, MR and VR are of interest. VR papers are welcome regardless of their relevance to AR/MR.
