Call for Papers

Extended Reality (XR), which includes Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR), creates entirely new ways for consumers to experience the world around them and interact with it. Within the last few years, improvements in sensor technology and processing power have led to tremendous advances in all aspects of XR hardware, and due to economies of scale of the massively growing XR market these devices are available now at a reasonable price point. On the production side, powerful low-cost systems for capturing 3D objects and volumetric video and 360° videos make it possible to create budget VR/AR productions. The same applies to the consumption side, where VR headsets like the Oculus Go or Playstation VR provide a highly immersive VR experience which is affordable for everyone.Unfortunately, the development

Topics of Interest :

• Efficient XR content acquisition and representation
• Compression and delivery to various platforms (HMD, smartphones, SmartTV / HbbTV, Web, .)
• Subjective and objective assessment of XR scenarios (content quality, experiences.)
• Semantic understanding of XR content (depth estimation, semantic segmentation, object recognition, pose estimation, action recognition, audio analysis, etc.)
• Automating the XR content authoring process (e.g. providing automatic content annotation / storytelling)
• Authoring interactions and navigation aids (e.g., elements for moving in time and space, avatars)
• Authoring accessible XR experiences (e.g. subtitles, audio description, audio subtitling, sign language, .)
