VEAI 2015 - International Workshop on Virtual Environments and Advanced Interfaces (VEAI-2015)

The workshop on “Virtual Environments and Advanced Interfaces” within the 14th IEEE International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing and Communications (IUCC-2015) that will be held on 26-28 October 2015 in Liverpool, UK aims to promote the discussion about ways of enhancing human computer interaction and communication in Immersive Virtual Environments. To address relevant challenges, VR software and hardware need to be adopted in embedded environments to allow intuitive interaction between users and/or agents. It will provide an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present their latest work on evaluating the impact of advanced interfaces on human interaction and communication and will highlight innovative applications and research outcomes.
We invite original papers (full/short papers, industrial case studies) that discuss the topic in term of concepts, pilots, state of the art, research, standards, implementations, running experiments, applications, and industrial case studies. Submissions should not be under consideration of other conferences or journals. The topics include (but are not limited to):
Interaction & interface design & evaluation
Agents and human interaction
Social aspects of human-computer interaction
Computer games and gaming
Human Interaction in Virtual Reality Games
Human-computer interaction in education and training
Principles, theories, and models
Sound synthesis and design for virtual environments
Sound spatialisation
Multimodal interaction in Virtual Reality
Personalisation and customisation of virtual reality environments
