TOPICS

IEEE VR 2026 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 and sensing
    User experience and usability
    XR technology infrastructure

While no list can be exhaustive, papers should, as a rule of thumb, engage meaningfully with existing literature in VR/AR/MR/3DUI. If a submission contains few or no references to this literature (focusing entirely on, for example, computer vision or computer graphics), that submission might not be appropriate for IEEE VR and may be desk rejected.
