Workshop: First Workshop on VR for Exergaming (VR4Exergame)

Principal Organiser: Bhawna Shiwani

Website: https://altecresearch.com/vr4exergame/

VR exergames have potential to enable a broad spectrum of users to participate in fitness and rehabilitation activities in immersive social environments. Yet, consumer grade VR systems show only limited ability to realize the adoption of VR exergaming at such scale. Key challenges to enable VR as an engaging, interactive and social alternative to existing practices include – therapeutic benefits to fitness and rehabilitation activities; human factors including the ability to simulate real-world scenarios, long term usage comfort among others; and technical capabilities such as simplified system setup, low multi-user latency, and realistic whole-body immersion. This full-day workshop will bring researchers and industry practitioners together to discuss these new emerging research challenges and technologies. It will consist of keynote speakers, juried paper presentations, and a panel discussion. We invite authors to submit 6-page (plus 1-page for references) research or position papers.

Workshop: Data4XR: Datasets for Developing Intelligent XR Applications

Principal Organiser: Yuyang Wang

Website: https://sites.google.com/view/ieee-vr-data4xr

With easy access to standard datasets, they can develop state-of-the-art AI algorithms to achieve excellent prediction performance. However, when XR researchers decide to import these algorithms for developing intelligent immersive interactive applications, the lack of publicly available datasets arises as a challenge despite advanced AI algorithms being developed.
Many works related to datasets have been published, e.g., MINIST, ImageNet, CIFAR-10, etc. To unleash the full power of XR, the community also needs standard datasets for developing data-driven models with machine/deep learning. The 2nd workshop on Datasets for Developing Intelligent XR Applications (Data4XR), hosted by the IEEE VR 2023, proposes a meaningful platform for domain researchers to find valuable resources and develop collaborations across labs. It aims to promote XR research by involving artificial intelligence.

Workshop: Mixing Realities: Cross-reality Visualization| Interaction| and Collaboration

Principal Organiser: Hai-Ning Liang

Website: https://ieeevr.org/2023/assets/contribute/workshops/MixingRealitiesIEEEVR2023-LingyunYu.pdf

Cross-reality systems offer different levels of virtuality/physicality to users and enable them to move back and forth between the reality-virtuality continuums in a seamless way. Immersive AR/VR HMDs have become the main tools that enable cross-reality interaction.
Immersive analytics has become a significant research field with applications in natural sciences in contexts that require users's understanding, exploration, and communication about high-dimensional data. Cross-reality provides users with the possibility of switching visual representations between systems using different degrees of virtuality and allows users to interact with data across multiple technologies.
The goal of the workshop is to provide an opportunity for researchers from VR/MR/AR, HCI and Visualization fields to submit their original ideas, work-in-progress contribution, and position papers on the design of interactive systems for effective cross-reality visualization, interaction, and collaboration.

Website: https://sites.google.com/umn.edu/wisp

The workshop is intended to foster discussion between researchers, developers, and practitioners interested in addressing cybersickness, one of the most significant usability issues in VR. Although immersive technologies have been advancing rapidly, their rate of public adoption has been slowed by the fact that many users experience physical discomfort during or after the use of VR devices, with symptomatic characteristics similar to motion sickness. The workshop will include research papers that report study results, novel interaction techniques, or technological interventions aimed towards understanding and mitigating cybersickness, as well as position papers describing early-stage concepts, preliminary results, or case studies from industry. We hope that the results of the workshop and the discussions will lead to improved design practices, new technological approaches, and a better understanding of the causes of immersive sickness.

Workshop: 6th IEEE VR Internal Workshop on Animation in Virtual and Augmented Environments (ANIVAE-2023)

Principal Organiser: Thomas Moser

Website: https://anivae.fhstp.ac.at/

Connecting specialists from various digital humanities research areas (such as animation, games and media studies), with experts from both vision-oriented computer science areas (such as computer graphics or information visualization), and experts from technically-oriented computer science areas (such as data integration, internet-of-things or smart automation), the ANIVAE workshops aims to create an open and exciting environment. By encouraging synergies of interdisciplinary approaches, the workshop maps animation within the AVR context from different angles and creates new knowledge in this research field.
