WEVR 2015 - 1st Workshop on Everyday Virtual Reality

Traditionally, Virtual Reality has been conceived for purpose-built highly instrumented laboratories. However, the upcoming release of consumer grade Virtual Reality head-mounted displays will allow users to experience VR in everyday environments such as their own home or office where obstacles are commonplace and tracking is not trivial. If consumer VR is to evolve beyond the desktop paradigm, a rethinking of the way we design and implement interactive VR systems for these environments is needed. This half-day workshop will bring together researchers and industry practitioners to explore these new challenges and define a new research agenda.
The workshop will be hosted at the IEEE Virtual Reality Conference which will take place on the afternoon of March the 23rd in Arles, Camargue (France). We have requested IEEE to include the workshop proceedings in IEEE Xplore.
