Goals of the Session

Virtual Reality (VR) allows users to be immersed in and interact with a fully virtual computer generated environment. On the other hand, Augmented Reality (AR) technologies add digital information on top of the physical reality, allowing users to gain more knowledge about their environment. VR and AR can become valuable tools for understanding, visualizing or evaluating real-time applications, such as simulations.
Both technologies offer tremendous possibilities in terms of visualization, interaction and collaboration and become widely available with the development of new affordable devices and toolkits.
This special sessions aims at bringing together industrial experts and researchers from academia to present their results and discuss the challenges related to the use of VR and AR technologies dedicated to real-time applications. We welcome research papers on both theoretical and empirical issues.
