IEEE VR 2025: the 32nd IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces March 8-12, 2025 | Saint-Malo, France https://ieeevr.org/2025/contribute/papers/ <https://ieeevrpublicity-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2g3lPrRJJkDwbgKPHn-ibBih…> <https://ieeevrpublicity-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2e3jFvRT5NcdvJUzExZmKdUD…> Overview IEEE VR 2025 seeks original, high-quality papers in all areas related to virtual reality (VR), including augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and 3D user interfaces (3DUIs). This year, there is again a SINGLE submission deadline for a unified review process for both the IEEE TVCG and the conference only papers. The possible outcomes of this unified process are: 1. Accept as IEEE TVCG paper, with presentation at IEEE VR 2025 2. Accept as IEEE VR 2025 conference paper, with presentation at IEEE VR 2025 3. Accept as IEEE VR 2025 poster 4. Reject Inquiries: program2025 [at] ieeevr.org <https://ieeevrpublicity-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2KGTJlzZXY1uuSWH9W2YUTw_…> Important Dates Each deadline is 23:59:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth) == GMT/UTC-12:00 on the stated day, no matter where the submitter is located. The submission deadlines will be strictly enforced. Requests for extensions will not be honored. - September 11 Wednesday, 2024: Abstracts due (REQUIRED) - September 18 Wednesday, 2024: Submissions due - December 10 Tuesday, 2024: Initial notifications - January 2 Thursday, 2025: Revised submissions due - January 9 Thursday, 2025: Final notifications - January 16 Thursday, 2025: Camera-ready materials due Submission Guidelines Submissions will be accepted through Precision Conference Solutions this year. https://new.precisionconference.com/vr <https://ieeevrpublicity-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2NfqYIR9_f3nQTExjk-Q6yNz…> IMPORTANT: IEEE VR 2025 uses a DOUBLE-BLIND review process. Failure to anonymize submissions will result in desk rejection. Each research paper should provide a contribution covering one or more of the following categories: methodological, technical, applications, and systems. - Methodological papers should describe advances in theories and methods of AR/VR/MR and 3DUI, such as ethical issues, theories on presence, or human factors. - Technical papers should describe advancements in algorithms or devices critical to AR/VR/MR and 3DUI development such as input, display, user interaction, or tracking. - Application papers provide an important insight to the community by explaining how the authors built upon existing ideas and applied them to solve an interesting problem in a novel way. Each paper should include an evaluation of the success of the use of AR/VR/MR and/or 3DUI in the given application domain. - System papers should indicate how the developers integrated techniques and technologies to produce an effective system, and convey any lessons learned in the process. Each paper should include an evaluation of its contributions, such as user studies, benchmarking and/or comparison with existing systems/techniques/methods. We welcome paper submissions between 4 and 9 pages, not including references. Authors are encouraged to submit videos to aid the program committee in reviewing their submissions. All paper submissions must be formatted using the IEEE Computer Society TVCG conference format ( https://tc.computer.org/vgtc/publications/conference/ <https://ieeevrpublicity-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2Lh-fZHeVW85dTJCfSDwrVrA…>). Accepted papers and posters will have to be formatted by the authors according to the relevant camera-ready guidelines. Topics IEEE VR 2025 seeks contributions in VR/AR/MR and 3DUI, including, but not limited to, the following topics: - 360° video - 3D and volumetric display and projection technology - 3D authoring - 3D User Interfaces - Accessibility of immersive interfaces - Audio interfaces and rendering - Collaborative interactions - Computer graphics techniques - Crowd simulation - Cybersickness - Diversity and gender issues - Embodied agents, virtual humans, and (self-)avatars - Ethical issues - Evaluation methods - Haptic interfaces and rendering - Human factors and ergonomics - Immersive analytics and visualization - Immersive applications and games - Input devices - Locomotion and navigation - Mediated and diminished reality - Mobile, desktop, or hybrid 3DUIs - Modeling and simulation - Multi-user and distributed systems - Multimodal capturing and reconstruction - Multimodal/cross-modal interaction and perception - Multisensory interfaces and rendering - Perception and cognition - Presence, body ownership, and agency - Redirection - Software architectures, toolkits, and engineering - Teleoperation and telepresence - Therapy and rehabilitation - Touch, tangible, and gesture interfaces - Tracking - User experience and usability - XR technology infrastructure Review process The review process will have two cycles. Review Cycle I (Submission to Initial notification) Submissions will be assigned to two members of the VR 2025 International Program Committee (IPC): a coordinator (primary) and a secondary reviewer. Submissions that violate the submission guidelines or that receive low review scores from the coordinator and the secondary reviewer will be early rejected. This stage of the review process will be double blind. We will strive to have all other submissions receive a total of at least three reviews. Based on the reviews and in consultation with a subset of the IPC, the Program Chairs will make one of the following initial recommendations for each submission: - Conditionally accept as IEEE TVCG paper. Continuing our cooperation with the IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG), these submissions with substantial contribution will be considered for publication in a special issue of IEEE TVCG. - Conditionally accept as conference paper. These submissions will be considered for inclusion in the Proceedings of IEEE VR, archived in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. - Recommend as a two-page poster. Authors of a submission receiving this recommendation have the option of condensing their submission into a two-page poster, including references. Subject to a final approval by the Posters chairs, accepted posters will be included in the IEEE VR Abstracts and Workshops proceedings and will be archived in the IEEE Digital Library. Note that IEEE VR does not consider posters as a final disclosure of research results. Thus, work accepted as an IEEE VR poster might be eligible for inclusion in future publications. - Reject. Review Cycle II (Initial notification to Final decision) The revision of each conditionally accepted paper will be reviewed by its coordinator, who will make a final recommendation regarding acceptance. Should the conditions for acceptance not be met, the paper will be rejected. Additional Guidelines Abstract Submission. Note that a paper abstract must be uploaded seven days prior to the actual paper submission deadline. This facilitates the process of assigning reviewers, as the review process operates on a very tight schedule. Ethics and Responsibility. All submissions describing research experiments with human participants must follow the appropriate ethical guidelines required by the authors’ institution(s), and authors are required to secure and report their approval by the relevant ethics committee prior to collecting data. An approval by any ethical review board, if required by your institution, needs to be indicated via the submission system. Authors will be required to submit the name of the ethical review board, approved protocol title and number, and date that ethical approval was obtained prior to running human participants. Authors must be able to provide proof of ethical approval upon request. Incorrect reporting of ethical approval will result in desk rejection. Participant Diversity. To support high-quality research, all submissions describing research with human participants should strive for participant diversity. As first steps toward this goal, VR 2025 is encouraging the following: - Research that aims to benefit a general population should be representative of that population. (e.g. balanced across gender or age). Research that claims to benefit a specific population should clearly state and justify its focus on that population (e.g. pilots, surgeons). - All submissions must report participant demographics (gender, age, etc.). Notes about recruiting representative populations: - Recruiting more diverse samples does not imply that the research must treat these data as independent variables and analyze differences in independent variables between demographic groups. - Recruiting more diverse samples does not increase the number of participants required for adequate statistical power given an effect size. - Many ethics review boards and funding sources already require participant diversity for inclusive and unbiased research. The VR 2025 program committee and external reviewers will be strongly encouraged to consider participant diversity in relation to the generality of the claims made by a submission as a first-order reviewing concern. Submissions that make general claims yet rely on a severely imbalanced participant groups may be negatively impacted by the reviewing process. Review Duties for Authors. The increasing number of submissions for IEEE VR makes us all dependent on a large number of good reviewers who are willing to provide constructive feedback and engage with authors on their work. Every paper needs three quality reviews. To expand the reviewing pool and to promote quality reviews, for each submitted paper, one author will be required to register to review up to three papers through PCS at the time of submission. For example, if the same author group submits two papers, they need to commit to reviewing six papers. Additionally, senior authors are encouraged to ask experienced junior authors to register in PCS to review papers, and then to mentor the junior authors during the review process. Presentation at the Conference. All accepted submissions must be presented orally at the conference. An in-person presentation is expected, and online presentations will be accommodated only in exceptional cases. Requests for online presentations due to exceptional cases must be made at least one month before the conference. Submission Language. All paper submissions must be in English. Previous Publication and Plagiarism. Submitted manuscripts must not have been previously published. A manuscript is considered to have been previously published if it has appeared in a peer-reviewed journal, magazine, book, or meeting proceedings that is reliably and permanently available afterward in print or electronic form to non-attendees, regardless of the language of that publication. A manuscript identical or substantially similar in content (in its entirety or in part) to one submitted to VR should not be simultaneously under consideration for another conference or journal during any part of the VR review process, from the submission deadline until notifications of decisions are emailed to authors. In some situations, a submission may build upon prior work. In order to fully explain the relationship between the submitted paper and prior work, authors may upload additional papers as well as a non-anonymous letter of explanation that highlights the significant changes or advances; these materials will only be seen by the primary reviewer. Specifically, this treatment is applied to the following cases: - non peer-reviewed works that are publicly available (on arXiv, as a technical report, etc.) - non-archival publications presented in past IEEE VR conferences (posters, demos, etc.) Submissions will be checked for plagiarism using IEEE Crosscheck. Detection of significant plagiarism will lead to rejection. For more information about definitions of plagiarism and IEEE policies in this area, please see the Introduction to the Guidelines for Handling Plagiarism Complaints <https://ieeevrpublicity-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2SoNMaH78paOsuIWJielY8Tkf8aTPAYMsvfrQR7cno5dnTx7XkQF6xcArWR1992H8hzyPYnt807nPLcki0e1VxFxUH_uvRPDxwHdtQup41-xuk6lbqKwX_ndUrAvrC9VExOqAGwj699lRiVgzy9S-o8cgAQOLtjJoRV2zQ9JWJOIMoE0XBz4OYSrUhXSqJqunPGdZ3hnszkEd4nR6tV8mgpE51puVZp4nU8q0G_81bZ1VfanbkGIEe7OIVQHgR8TK4M-C9RASmSLTD9qhXZtxiKLU1s-XEXN-EgQQcfZPmpOx-JyWm3RAcaEogCZHCQiE6jgjj3FCuYqyNFkBQ0Ar0JqZjC05XTppHja6RR7mX85xR0gKOQo3hj6lxnrD0ludzHD7XB2eKE4-jHD88Dgu0Uc0MqGmuGNkkt_gavO0LCrgApRrvKnFGdFuOTP_aGBbF34rgBWx_od1jhG385GzF1_mfZdlYajIIVrigfqWNcCjGoxrf02Jh5Js5VwfrQnGbSvQXiI4nHRgrSlImNgjRUPyhOOhv2oBfubvLXU01NJCrZxL0HdnVPA0QZsXtc9HQPPeZJE0gAnEnVOhLqYwu_gXUtmDbuYiJX1MWABO9ZsxWjKKZC6sjW8j4aWrLd1hDuoim2mkyWZPDv6ULWNwQgt1biW-tWuOzJ0E4iOG6w8CK5jh0w-XhRP1AiaWD0oxhFdA5LehemJmwIAdmm2Ah7RigqpuGtdBjAM27KRRt1dQYMFiLBBtNvgY16zjyRjvmQ4olX5Y7ZZ6LdPzBvF9h4T98muBYSGYl64QayKEeELq_o7aYb2TX3BIC_2C3IFsrx1qtSmN1RSMxKT_zCQRdIgE3s-Cl_8Dx70qfZ5ScmP34vjOeiGc9Ism80GHRAAMfpFszpdnzh9etzzQwl5DrTnhCIxA3_Qhtc7cXJwavafk8T--nGIhI-xTi30KbedkOzZuGGaRsX4QOyiySmx5F2EOjy9cJcl8zDxgvRg0RC6POdmweaGwiaFmq_nY3RNZL2Xi1Vd29KBkKfLWdMTE624vww96fCBGWlYZeWhC8C3HPh1lRPaico0LiyVBru5q6LyEkRJcIldLKlZE7UfJ87eNDaD2c8I7bI2w2G1JB1seG5ubVehUZj_9iI1tTQ2uePmTjt8BLCpb15zmUaZVSt8b-KXHEGIeCBenIuG-INug1vjvjJ56UEgS5BulK_m3m3oHBZTE4wt1I6qOl6dmOFSb0X8YjT5K4QnkIFbMohuCyC1M15RDqzpd9R7jju-GoXC6s6VQJSf8_OwoXFn_bdBPNSeI_2csu1wEMDAnga5o1hzhJlSqo7BhJbCTCiTElhgdqC9sMFYR2LuByHn6Uu80YuCKsMoqywR8CAVriFEFexZ15nzgXsMlt6jCj7VYRRw47Rt2LvYRte0xBHfVzxeLOhSyUlKPTl1NIgq5tDkEY8mM_9a-qZOFlvXhx7BLe9zQhe_RNp4hNPrOJGl2CiXEyuTHjOC6HU0uMQl7tmopNKE4BYQ8kBZjgXqCoRs02L7UYhf7bNhkT-madh4pOjha9Dl5I9ZJ62YngNh9V_--Q7rgHFQNa8V1teN-RMN-iXbQylZpuR05bPcZQ_yCs5iHSDHEd5w8hioSu3BIdAfDFf5Fk3cQ4Bz2FgC7b1tnC2IMmbty2Y4T8uRL78NWULRp42dsQyxZyBCOq_GyA9d9iq6cVk8GLguq0beoT9ivg6aVfbq8PAdcy_bpfMF2b_Zs0IdMl2ZWaTAtffqQZAvU6QTyD1e4rO1kNyuJVZFeeTT8ThWljvamkeVcGAW7C3AnBAmCdIhNoEbUwAHw8R17FgasALQ8Si0dtpfdIccytKzz91vnmxi0wUo6XjAWpNwITgfboKTY-v1ldCLjgpSgb4gX9SNQsus8c8HuuP6JvQQfuJwQMeaO8sJ1HEAmnxPAkn4SI652SgwoN-Q_rn9Hs98zJzi8BfCEoURCL82zlo8fDcCs87Urt84DxZWl9ZfvPlOujOg> and the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board Operations Manual <https://ieeevrpublicity-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2D3n_gbagGb6HbbL5ZXxkpEe…> . AI-generated Text. Large-scale language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT can only be used by the authors to edit grammar of their own text. Submission Anonymity. * IEEE VR uses a DOUBLE-BLIND review process * This means that both the authors and the reviewers must remain anonymous to each other. Submissions (including citations and optional videos) must not contain information that identifies the authors, their institutions, funding sources, or their places of work. Relevant previous work by the authors must be cited in the third person to preserve anonymity (exceptions were described above). Authors should work diligently to ensure that their submissions do not expose their identities either intentionally or through carelessness. Authors that have questions/issues around the double-blind submission policy should contact the program chairs. * Failure to make reasonable attempts to adhere to the double-blind policy will result in desk rejection. * Pre-dissemination through public online repositories. Uploading the submitted manuscript to an online repository (e.g., arXiv) before the end of the review process does not constitute a reason for rejecting the manuscript. However, the authors should be advised that doing so can compromise the anonymity of their manuscript and therefore bias its double-blind review. Videos. Videos must be submitted according to the instructions on the submission website. Videos submitted with papers will automatically be considered for possible inclusion in the video proceedings (video submissions may also be made independently, as described in the separate Call for Videos). When submitted as supporting material, videos must be free of any identifying information prior to reviewing as per the double-blind submission policy. If accepted for the video proceedings, a revised version of the materials will be requested.

by Zezhong Wang 05 Sep '24

05 Sep '24

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS ACM Interactive Surfaces and Spaces (ISS) is the premier academic venue for research in the design, development, and use of new and emerging interactive surface technologies and interactive spaces. This years conference will take place 27-30 October 2024 in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Visual methods have become increasingly vital in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research, particularly as we analyze and interpret the complex visual data that emerges from various interaction modalities. However, the methodologies for analyzing this visual data remain underdeveloped compared to textual data analysis. This workshop seeks to unite HCI researchers who work with visual data—such as hand sketches, photographs, physical artifacts, UI screenshots, videos, and information visualizations—to establish a collection of methods, exchange strategies, and delve into the challenges and opportunities of visual data analysis in HCI. Topics We invite contributions on a wide range of topics related to visual data analysis in HCI, including but not limited to: Challenges and opportunities in visual data analysis methods within HCI. Methodologies for coding and analyzing visual data. Reflections on visual data analysis practices in HCI and visualization research. Innovations in tools and systems that support qualitative coding of visual data. *Combining qualitative and quantitative methods for rich insights from visual materials. Epistemological reflections on the use of visual methods in research. Submission Guidelines We welcome submissions of papers (1-3 pages) that explore various aspects of visual data analysis, including reflections on current research, discussions of methodological challenges, and future ideas for visual methods. Submissions can be in the form of traditional papers or pictorials that visually represent the analytical process. All submissions will undergo a peer-review process. Accepted papers will be shared among participants prior to the workshop to foster discussion and collaboration. Important Dates Paper Submission: September 23, 2024 (AOE) Author Notification: September 30, 2024 (AOE) https://iss2024.acm.org/track/visual-methods Best regards, Visual Method Workshop Organizers Zezhong Wang, Samuel Huron, Miriam Sturdee, Sheelagh Carpendale

What’s more, meeting in an immersive 3D space offers a large variety of novel opportunities to educate oneself, teach each other, and explore the complex relationships that altogether affect today’s and tomorrow’s climate. This year’s 3DUI contest asks participants to suggest novel forms of teaching, understanding, and/or promoting environmental sustainability collaboratively as a team in Extended Reality (VR/AR/MR/XR). Participants are asked to propose a 3DUI project in which at least two collaborators can work on an environmental issue together. Submissions will be evaluated through the following criteria: 1. 1. Efficiency and convenience of user operations 2. Complexity of collaborative interaction 3. Novelty of the 3DUI design 4. Enjoyment and engagement (fun) Selected contestants will be required to provide a software demonstration of their solutions using the OpenXR standard, ensuring compatibility with consumer mixed-reality hardware. Eligibility The 3DUI Contest is open to anyone interested in 3DUIs — researchers, students, hobbyists, professionals, or anyone else. Requirements for the selection and presentation are specified below. Rules The submitted solutions should fulfill the following rules to be considered for acceptance and presentation during IEEE VR 2025: - Submissions should present a collaborative 3DUI solution, which …: - … covers the topics of “United for Planet Earth: Promoting Environmental Sustainability in Collaborative Virtual Environments”. … describes which 3DUI techniques have been created and/or extended. … is documented with a video (between 3 and 5 minutes) as well as a standalone executable. … is compatible with the OpenXR standard (https://www.khronos.org/openxr/ <https://ieeevrpublicity-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2ZYrRzVv7-c24-Kc7rP2BSdl…> ) - The developed collaborative 3DUI should … - … be innovative and technically sound. … provide high usability … be aesthetically pleasing. … be enjoyable and thought-provoking. Teams Teams of up to ten people may submit solutions. Paper Teams must submit a short paper of two pages, including a description of the solution, details about the software developed, a brief description of the closest related work and how the system is novel, and a description of how they iterated upon the design. If the submission is accepted, this paper will be included in the IEEE VR Conference proceedings as a two-page extended abstract describing the contest solution. Therefore, it must be formatted using the IEEE Computer Society format as specified for VR conference papers. Video Teams will also submit a video that presents the solution to the public, including an explanation of the equipment, software, and interaction techniques used to solve the problem. If the submission is accepted, the video will be made publicly available. Videos should have a length of between 3 and 5 minutes and should include the title along with the names and affiliations of the contestants. The submitted file should be a high-quality compressed video with a size of no more than 300 MB and submitted directly via the submission system or via a link to an unlisted video on an online platform like YouTube. On-Site Demonstration If the submission is accepted, authors will participate in a demo session at the conference, where they will showcase their work to the IEEE VR community. The winner of the contest will be determined at IEEE VR, for which various judges from the community will try out and rate the presented 3DUIs. The judging criteria are novelty, usability, fun, and the relevance of the topic. Furthermore, we will offer an on-site voting platform for all conference attendees. The final score will be the combination of the expert judges’ scores and the audience scores. Please note that at least one author of each accepted work should be registered for the conference and present on-site during the dedicated 3DUI sessions.

Participatory Design Tutorial at IEEE VIS
by Adriana Arcia 02 Sep '24

02 Sep '24

Are you attending IEEE VIS in St. Pete's Beach this year? Come to my tutorial! https://ieeevis.org/year/2024/info/tutorials#PAR Monday, October 14, 1:30-4:30p ET Preparing, Conducting, and Analyzing Participatory Design Sessions for Information Visualizations Participatory design is a recognized method for ensuring that design products are effective among and acceptable to target audiences. Despite the growing popularity of participatory design, existing guidelines and recommendations for how to conduct participatory design sessions gloss over important details that can have a profound impact on how smoothly design sessions run and the extent to which they maintain rigor and generate actionable data. Furthermore, there are unique considerations that apply when the product of participatory design is a visualization rather than, say, text. Therefore, in an effort to address this gap and support others wishing to undertake participatory design work, our team has drafted a practical manual based on our collective experiences, complete with tips for iteration tracking, a session guide template, suggested design session prompts, a note-taking template, and a comprehensive preparation checklist. In this interactive tutorial, attendees will be introduced to the design session manual and related resources before practicing the techniques in small groups with static visualizations.

Each paper should include an evaluation of the success of the use of AR/VR/MR and/or 3DUI in the given application domain. - System papers should indicate how the developers integrated techniques and technologies to produce an effective system, and convey any lessons learned in the process. Each paper should include an evaluation of its contributions, such as user studies, benchmarking and/or comparison with existing systems/techniques/methods. We welcome paper submissions between 4 and 9 pages, not including references. Authors are encouraged to submit videos to aid the program committee in reviewing their submissions. All paper submissions must be formatted using the IEEE Computer Society TVCG conference format ( https://tc.computer.org/vgtc/publications/conference/ <https://ieeevrpublicity-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2u8EqQiwLfdCVWE4sRiAWVlu…>). Accepted papers and posters will have to be formatted by the authors according to the relevant camera-ready guidelines. Topics IEEE VR 2025 seeks contributions in VR/AR/MR and 3DUI, including, but not limited to, the following topics: - 360° video - 3D and volumetric display and projection technology - 3D authoring - 3D User Interfaces - Accessibility of immersive interfaces - Audio interfaces and rendering - Collaborative interactions - Computer graphics techniques - Crowd simulation - Cybersickness - Diversity and gender issues - Embodied agents, virtual humans, and (self-)avatars - Ethical issues - Evaluation methods - Haptic interfaces and rendering - Human factors and ergonomics - Immersive analytics and visualization - Immersive applications and games - Input devices - Locomotion and navigation - Mediated and diminished reality - Mobile, desktop, or hybrid 3DUIs - Modeling and simulation - Multi-user and distributed systems - Multimodal capturing and reconstruction - Multimodal/cross-modal interaction and perception - Multisensory interfaces and rendering - Perception and cognition - Presence, body ownership, and agency - Redirection - Software architectures, toolkits, and engineering - Teleoperation and telepresence - Therapy and rehabilitation - Touch, tangible, and gesture interfaces - Tracking - User experience and usability - XR technology infrastructure Review process The review process will have two cycles. Review Cycle I (Submission to Initial notification) Submissions will be assigned to two members of the VR 2025 International Program Committee (IPC): a coordinator (primary) and a secondary reviewer. Submissions that violate the submission guidelines or that receive low review scores from the coordinator and the secondary reviewer will be early rejected. This stage of the review process will be double blind. We will strive to have all other submissions receive a total of at least three reviews. Based on the reviews and in consultation with a subset of the IPC, the Program Chairs will make one of the following initial recommendations for each submission: - Conditionally accept as IEEE TVCG paper. Continuing our cooperation with the IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG), these submissions with substantial contribution will be considered for publication in a special issue of IEEE TVCG. - Conditionally accept as conference paper. These submissions will be considered for inclusion in the Proceedings of IEEE VR, archived in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. - Recommend as a two-page poster. Authors of a submission receiving this recommendation have the option of condensing their submission into a two-page poster, including references. Subject to a final approval by the Posters chairs, accepted posters will be included in the IEEE VR Abstracts and Workshops proceedings and will be archived in the IEEE Digital Library. Note that IEEE VR does not consider posters as a final disclosure of research results. Thus, work accepted as an IEEE VR poster might be eligible for inclusion in future publications. - Reject. Review Cycle II (Initial notification to Final decision) The revision of each conditionally accepted paper will be reviewed by its coordinator, who will make a final recommendation regarding acceptance. Should the conditions for acceptance not be met, the paper will be rejected. Additional Guidelines Abstract Submission. Note that a paper abstract must be uploaded seven days prior to the actual paper submission deadline. This facilitates the process of assigning reviewers, as the review process operates on a very tight schedule. Ethics and Responsibility. All submissions describing research experiments with human participants must follow the appropriate ethical guidelines required by the authors’ institution(s), and authors are required to secure and report their approval by the relevant ethics committee prior to collecting data. An approval by any ethical review board, if required by your institution, needs to be indicated via the submission system. Authors will be required to submit the name of the ethical review board, approved protocol title and number, and date that ethical approval was obtained prior to running human participants. Authors must be able to provide proof of ethical approval upon request. Incorrect reporting of ethical approval will result in desk rejection. Participant Diversity. To support high-quality research, all submissions describing research with human participants should strive for participant diversity. As first steps toward this goal, VR 2025 is encouraging the following: - Research that aims to benefit a general population should be representative of that population. (e.g. balanced across gender or age). Research that claims to benefit a specific population should clearly state and justify its focus on that population (e.g. pilots, surgeons). - All submissions must report participant demographics (gender, age, etc.). Notes about recruiting representative populations: - Recruiting more diverse samples does not imply that the research must treat these data as independent variables and analyze differences in independent variables between demographic groups. - Recruiting more diverse samples does not increase the number of participants required for adequate statistical power given an effect size. - Many ethics review boards and funding sources already require participant diversity for inclusive and unbiased research. The VR 2025 program committee and external reviewers will be strongly encouraged to consider participant diversity in relation to the generality of the claims made by a submission as a first-order reviewing concern. Submissions that make general claims yet rely on a severely imbalanced participant groups may be negatively impacted by the reviewing process. Review Duties for Authors. The increasing number of submissions for IEEE VR makes us all dependent on a large number of good reviewers who are willing to provide constructive feedback and engage with authors on their work. Every paper needs three quality reviews. To expand the reviewing pool and to promote quality reviews, for each submitted paper, one author will be required to register to review up to three papers through PCS at the time of submission. For example, if the same author group submits two papers, they need to commit to reviewing six papers. Additionally, senior authors are encouraged to ask experienced junior authors to register in PCS to review papers, and then to mentor the junior authors during the review process. Presentation at the Conference. All accepted submissions must be presented orally at the conference. An in-person presentation is expected, and online presentations will be accommodated only in exceptional cases. Requests for online presentations due to exceptional cases must be made at least one month before the conference. Submission Language. All paper submissions must be in English. Previous Publication and Plagiarism. Submitted manuscripts must not have been previously published. A manuscript is considered to have been previously published if it has appeared in a peer-reviewed journal, magazine, book, or meeting proceedings that is reliably and permanently available afterward in print or electronic form to non-attendees, regardless of the language of that publication. A manuscript identical or substantially similar in content (in its entirety or in part) to one submitted to VR should not be simultaneously under consideration for another conference or journal during any part of the VR review process, from the submission deadline until notifications of decisions are emailed to authors. In some situations, a submission may build upon prior work. In order to fully explain the relationship between the submitted paper and prior work, authors may upload additional papers as well as a non-anonymous letter of explanation that highlights the significant changes or advances; these materials will only be seen by the primary reviewer. Specifically, this treatment is applied to the following cases: - non peer-reviewed works that are publicly available (on arXiv, as a technical report, etc.) - non-archival publications presented in past IEEE VR conferences (posters, demos, etc.) Submissions will be checked for plagiarism using IEEE Crosscheck. Detection of significant plagiarism will lead to rejection. For more information about definitions of plagiarism and IEEE policies in this area, please see the Introduction to the Guidelines for Handling Plagiarism Complaints <https://ieeevrpublicity-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2pqnpzUUFqfP6z1ZV7-NzroA…> and the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board Operations Manual <https://ieeevrpublicity-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2CSx7_14HkG-cxiq-oglp2bG…> . AI-generated Text. Large-scale language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT can only be used by the authors to edit grammar of their own text. Submission Anonymity. * IEEE VR uses a DOUBLE-BLIND review process * This means that both the authors and the reviewers must remain anonymous to each other. Submissions (including citations and optional videos) must not contain information that identifies the authors, their institutions, funding sources, or their places of work. Relevant previous work by the authors must be cited in the third person to preserve anonymity (exceptions were described above). Authors should work diligently to ensure that their submissions do not expose their identities either intentionally or through carelessness. Authors that have questions/issues around the double-blind submission policy should contact the program chairs. * Failure to make reasonable attempts to adhere to the double-blind policy will result in desk rejection. * Pre-dissemination through public online repositories. Uploading the submitted manuscript to an online repository (e.g., arXiv) before the end of the review process does not constitute a reason for rejecting the manuscript. However, the authors should be advised that doing so can compromise the anonymity of their manuscript and therefore bias its double-blind review. Videos. Videos must be submitted according to the instructions on the submission website. Videos submitted with papers will automatically be considered for possible inclusion in the video proceedings (video submissions may also be made independently, as described in the separate Call for Videos). When submitted as supporting material, videos must be free of any identifying information prior to reviewing as per the double-blind submission policy. If accepted for the video proceedings, a revised version of the materials will be requested.
