We invite you to participate in the Eurographics Symposium on Virtual Environments. This event is the successor of the successful Eurographics Workshops on Virtual Environments held in the previous nine years. Various reasons made a name-change appropriate, but the Symposium will be similar to the past Virtual Environments Workshops in format and content. It will be an international forum for the exchange of experience and knowledge among researchers and developers concerned with virtual environments and virtual reality. Original, unpublished papers reporting research contributions,  practice and experience, or novel applications, from all areas of virtual environments, are invited.
 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to

· Immersive projection technologies 
· Output devices, haptics, sound in VR. 
· 3D input devices and interaction techniques for VR
· Human factors and multimodal input for VR 
· VR systems development 
· Collaborative and distributed VR 
· Cognition and VR
· Augmented/mixed reality 
· Scientific visualization in VR 
· VR applications 

Symposium Venue and Format

The event will be held in Grenoble. The event is open to all those with an interest in virtual environments. Students, in particular, are encouraged to participate. The two day symposium will be organized as an assembly of plenary presentations. Invited presentations and posters presenting labs activities, applications or VE projects, will be included. The EGVE Symposium will be followed by the Eurographics Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization that will take place on June 10-11, 2004 at the same location.
