ACM SIGGRAPH International Conference on Virtual-Reality Continuum and its Applications in Industry
INTRODUCTION
The next generation of info-communication environment is envisaged to include the Virtual-Reality (VR), Augmented-Virtuality (AV), Augmented-Reality (AR) and Mixed-Reality which span the Virtual-Reality Continuum (VRC). The rapid advances in interactive and display techniques are expected to make our work, learning, and leisure vastly more
efficient, effective and appealing.
The ACM (SIGGRAPH) International Conference on Virtual-Reality Continuum and its Applications in Industry (VRCAI 2004) will be a forum for researchers, educators, developers and users to share the latest development of the state-of-the-art technology in the Virtual Reality Continuum. Special efforts will also be placed in its fast growing application areas in Defense and Military Science, Life Science, Design and Engineering, Education, Entertainment, and so on.
Special Issue in Journal "Computers & Graphics"
The best papers from the conference will be invited for publication in a special issue with the Journal "Computers & Graphics"
