3rd International Workshop on Virtual and Augmented Assistive Technology
At IEEE Virtual Reality 2015, Arles, France
March 23, 2015
http://www.cs.utsa.edu/~jpq/vaat/
The IEEE VR 2015 Workshop on Virtual and Augmented Assistive Technology
is intended to bring together technological and clinical research
communities to advance the state-of-the-art in Virtual Reality (VR) and
Augmented Reality (AR) assistive technology. Over the past several
decades, there has been a host of research conducted to improve
rehabilitation and enable assistive technology for persons with
disabilities (e.g., cognitive, physical) through VR and AR. However,
this area needs to take more advantage of state-of-the-art VR and AR
technology. We believe this situation could be improved if the two
contributing communities to this area - the technology and the clinical
communities - had greater opportunity for more direct interaction and
collaboration to advance the field. This is the primary goal of this
workshop.
Specifically, we are inviting submissions of position papers and
preliminary research that focus on
1) novel Virtual and Augmented Reality technologies that could be used
to enhance assistive technologies and accessibility, although they may
not have been used for this yet and
2) insights into and studies involving persons with disabilities and the
impact of VR, AR, and associated technologies.
Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Accessibility of VR/AR for Persons with Disabilities
- Virtual Reality for Persons with Disabilities
- Augmented Reality for Persons with Disabilities
- 3DUI for Persons with Disabilities
- Mobile AR/VR Applications for Persons with Disabilities
- Human Movement Analysis
- Games for Rehabilitation
- Clinical Studies using Technologies for Persons with Disabilities
- Usability Studies and Human Factors
- Unlisted but related topics are also welcome
For accepted papers, authors must make a 15-20 minute oral presentation
at this half day workshop.
Papers should be 2-6 pages in length and prepared using the IEEE
Computer Society conference style format described at:
http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vis/Tasks/camera.html
Accepted papers will be submitted to be indexed by IEEE digital library.
Both VAAT 2013 and 2014 were indexed. Thus, we expect VAAT 2015 will
also be indexed.
Papers should be submitted in PDF format using the online submission
system on easy chair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vaat2015
Submission Deadline: January 26, 2015
Acceptance Notification: February 9, 2015
VAAT 2015 Organizers
