<nettime-ann> Call for Posters & Demos for ICAT 2011


.
CALL FOR DEMOS & POSTERS

The 21st International Conference on Artificial Reality and Telexistence
(ICAT2011)

November 28-30, 2011
Osaka University, Osaka, Japan
http://www.ic-at.org/2011/

Sponsored by Virtual Reality Society of Japan


+++Important Dates:

 - Submission Dead-line : October 12, 2011
 - Acceptance Notification : October 21, 2011
 - Camera Ready due : November 7, 2011

Demos/Posters provide an interactive forum in which authors can
present work to conference attendees during a poster session. Accepted
posters will be displayed on large boards (approximately 728Ã1030mm B1
Size). Demo/Poster submissions are ONE page in length. The purpose of
the one-page paper is to report on well-formed ideas, but these do not
require an evaluation section and are less formal compared to full
paper submissions. Demo/Poster result submissions allow you to share
your new concepts with other experts in the field, in an effort to
further develop the ideas and future directions of the research. We
encourage submissions of preliminary work, smaller projects and any
research that will motivate discussions in an open forum.

Poster and Demo authors will also have one minute to describe their
poster during a âPoster Teasersâ preview before any of the poster
sessions.


+++Demos & Posters Submission Guidelines:

Authors may submit a one page abstract describing their demo/poster.
Submissions will be evaluated for potential significance, clarity and
impact. Proposals can be electronically submitted and should include
the following information:

Title of the demonstration
Author names
Email contact details
An abstract with the following
General description of your concept
Motivation behind the idea
Purpose of the demonstration

Submissions should follow the IEEE Computer Society VGTC style
guidelines(http://www.cs.sfu.ca/âvis/Tasks/camera.html). Demo/Poster
authors must be registered participants at the conference and stand at
their stall during the demo session. Submission site is
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icat2011.



+++ICAT2011:

ICAT is the oldest international conference on Virtual Reality and
Telexistence. The organizing committee cordially invites you to submit
your technical work and experimental results in Virtual Reality science
and technology to this conference.

ICAT 2011 will not only look for innovations in the VR technology itself,
but also exploring novel ways to transfer and express information and
creative ideas to the society and people. ICAT 2011 will run technical
sessions covering conventional VR areas and new emerging areas with a
lineup of plenary sessions, invited talks, tutorials, workshops and VR
technology/art exhibitions.

Over the three days of ICAT 2011 you will have opportunities to
experience the state of the art technologies in Virtual Reality and
Telexistence in technical sessions, meet old friends or make new ones,
and some more exciting events we would prepare.


+++About Osaka:

Since ancient times in the 7th century, Osaka has been a gathering place.
Located at the confluence of a vast web of busy river and sea routes, it
naturally grew into a flourishing economic center and became the gateway
to Japan for travelers and traders from all over Asia. It was here that
Japan first met the world.

Osaka is located at the center of west part of Japan and far away from
the epicenter and the affected nuclear power plants ? we are located
over 500 kilometers from Fukushima and at an altitude of 50 meters. We
all welcome you to attend to ICAT 2011 safely.
