JVRC 2013 - 5th Joint Virtual Reality Conference

5th Joint Virtual Reality Conference
Campus Paris Saclay, 11-13 December 2013
After Madrid in October 2012, the series of Joint Virtual Reality Conferences (JVRC) continue with Paris on 11-13 December 2013. This year issue gathers:
The 10th Conference and Exhibition of the European Association of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality (EuroVR)
The 19th Eurographics Symposium on Virtual Environments (EGVE).
As previous issues, JVRC 2013 will bring together people from industry, commerce, research including technology developers, suppliers and all those interested in virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality and 3D user interfaces to exchange knowledge and share experiences of new results and applications, live demonstrations of current and emerging technologies and form collaborations for future work.
JVRC 2013 will also feature several common France-Japan events with the 23rd International Conference on Artificial Reality and Telexistence (ICAT 2013, see: www.ic-at.org) held during the same period in Tokyo.
The venue this year is the Campus Paris Saclay, slightly to the south of Paris, where numerous Universities, Engineering Schools, Research Institutes and Industrial Labs are currently being gathered. A special mention must be made of the Digiscope project, which aims to create a world class research platform on collaborative interaction with complex data and computation (www.digiscope.fr). To this goal, a network of heterogeneous large-scale visualisation and VR systems (virtual reality rooms, large power walls, ultra-high resolution walls and large multitouch surfaces) is being implemented between the eleven research laboratories involved in this project.
Actually, VENISE group of CNRS/LIMSI (www.limsi.fr/venise/) and Interactive Simulation Laboratory from CEA-List (www.kalisteo.fr/lsi/en), the local organisers of JVRC 2013, are in charge of the management of the VR research activities of the Digiscope project. Consequently, the common France-Japan events between JVRC 2013 and ICAT 2013, will especially focus on most advanced researches and applications on co-located and/or remote interactions in Immersive and Collaborative Virtual Environnments.
