The ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology (VRST) is a premier international symposium for the presentation of new research results, systems, and techniques among researchers and developers on augmented, virtual and mixed reality (AR/VR/MR, XR for short) software and technology.

VRST brings together the main international research groups working on XR, along with many of the world’s leading companies that provide or utilize XR systems. VRST 2022 will be held in Tsukuba, Japan, from Wednesday, Nov. 29th to Friday, Dec. 1st, 2022. The event is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI and SIGGRAPH.
