TOPICS

IEEE VR 2026 seeks contributions in VR/AR/MR and 3DUI including, but not limited to, the following topics:

360° video
3D and volumetric display and projection technology
3D authoring
3D user interfaces
Accessibility of immersive interfaces
Audio interfaces and rendering
Collaborative interactions
Computer graphics techniques
Crowd simulation
Cybersickness
Diversity and gender issues
Embodied agents, virtual humans, and (self-)avatars
Ethical issues
Evaluation methods
Haptic interfaces and rendering
Human factors and ergonomics
Immersive analytics and visualization
Immersive applications and games
Input devices
Locomotion and navigation
Mediated and diminished reality
Mobile, desktop, or hybrid 3DUIs
Modeling and simulation
Multi-user and distributed systems
Multimodal capturing and reconstruction
Multimodal/cross-modal interaction and perception
Multisensory interfaces and rendering
Perception and cognition
Presence, body ownership, and agency
Redirection
Software architectures, toolkits, and engineering
Teleoperation and telepresence
Therapy and rehabilitation
Touch, tangible, and gesture interfaces
Tracking and sensing
User experience and usability
XR technology infrastructure

While no list can be exhaustive, papers should, as a rule of thumb, engage meaningfully with existing literature in VR/AR/MR/3DUI. If a submission contains few or no references to this literature (focusing entirely on, for example, computer vision or computer graphics), that submission might not be appropriate for IEEE VR and may be desk rejected.
