Overview

This year, the IEEE VR 2021 will hold the 12th annual 3DUI Contest. It is
open to anyone interested in 3D User Interfaces (3DUIs) and Virtual
Reality, from researchers to students, enthusiasts, and professionals. The
purpose of the contest is to stimulate innovative and creative solutions to
challenging 3DUI problems. The theme of this year is “Challenging
Pandemics”. Participants need to create and submit a 3DUI project that
addresses the current COVID-19 situation directly, or indirectly. This may
include VR/AR/MR driven 3DUI systems related to training, teaching,
treatment support, or therapy support. Due to the current situation, we
specifically do not request or make it a prerequisite to include user
evaluations.

We expect the following functionality:

   -

   One or multiple potential users should be benefit from the 3DUI by
   receiving information or support in the COVID-19 context
   -

   3D interaction and feedback metaphors should act as mechanics to support
   this experience
   -

   The project should present novel 3DUI and can focus on a technical
   contribution
   -

   The simulation could be played standalone, or networked. A user should
   be able to experience the application for about 15 minutes
   -

   Optionally, the project could include an evaluation or the reporting of
   performance metrics
   -

   Optionally, the system could be collaborative
   -

   Optionally, you could provide a downloadable version for IEEE VR
   attendants.
   -

   Optionally, you can embed your interactions inside an online
   game/simulation.


Selected contestants will be required to provide a live demonstration of
their solutions (virtually) using their own mixed reality hardware (VR, AR,
or anything in between), but can choose to use any type of hardware. A
grand winner will be selected by juries at the conference.

Eligibility

The 3DUI Contest is open to anyone interested in 3DUIs—researchers,
students, hobbyists, professionals, or anyone else. Requirements for the
selection and presentation are specified below.

Rules

The submitted solutions have to fulfill the following rules to be
considered for acceptance and presentation during IEEE VR 2021:

   -

   Submissions have to present a 3DUI solution for the above features
   -

      The submitted material should show the 3DUI that topics the context
      of COVID-19 in assistive/supporting form
      -

      More features or unlisted features are encouraged. It will be
      considered in the evaluation phase.
      -

   The developed 3DUI should
   -

      … be innovative,
      -

      … provide high usability,
      -

      … be aesthetically pleasing, and
      -

      … be enjoyable and thought-provoking.


Teams

Teams of up to ten people may submit solutions.

Paper

Teams must submit a short paper of two pages, with a description of the
solution, details about software developed, a brief description of the
closest related work and how your system is novel, and a description of how
you iterated upon the design.

If your submission is accepted, this paper will be included in the IEEE VR
Conference proceedings as two-page extended abstract describing the contest
solution, and therefore must be formatted using the IEEE Computer Society
format as specified for VR conference poster papers.

Video

Teams will also submit a video that presents the solution to the public,
including an explanation of the equipment, software, and interaction
techniques used to solve the problem. If your submission is accepted, the
video will be made publicly available. Videos should have a length of
approximately
4 minutes and should include the title along with the names and
affiliations of the contestants. The submitted file should be a high
quality compressed video with a size of no more than 300 MB and submitted
via the submission system or a link to an unlisted youtube video/alike.

Demonstration

If your submission is accepted, you will participate in an (online) demo
session at the conference, where you will showcase your work to the IEEE VR
community and have a chance to win awards. Since this year's contest will
be judged at IEEE VR, we will invite various judges from the community to
judge your solution. The judging criteria are novelty, sophistication and
elaboration, relevance of the topic, and aesthetics. We will further offer
on-site judging for all conference attendees.Contestants are expected to
have their set-up prepared for demoing their individual solutions on site
or remotely during the 3DUI session as part of IEEE VR.

The final score will be the combination of the expert judges’ score plus
the audience scores. A winning team with the highest score will be awarded.

Contest Registration - due December 16, 2020

Teams should register their project title, a contact email, and the team
members upfront via email to [log in to unmask]

Abstract and Video Submission - due January 9, 2021

Teams should submit their abstract paper and a high quality video through
the online submission system: https://new.precisionconference.com/~vr

and submitted in PDF format. We highly encourage authors to use the LaTeX
template. However, authors who choose to use the MS Word template should
ensure that the PDF submission matches the PDF format template (
