VRCAI 2010 solicits papers and posters from both academia and industry in the world - a 

  hotbed of innovation - where state-of-the-art technologies and applications in the Virtual

  Reality Continuum (VRC) will be explored and presented.

  Spanning across next-generation infocommunication environments like Virtual Reality (VR),

  Augmented Virtuality (AV), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR), VRC is a key in the

  way we define and interact, with and within, our real and virtual worlds. To advance research

  in the VRC fields, VRCAI2010 seeks to provide a forum for scientists, researchers, developers,

  users and industry leaders in the international VRC community to come together to share

  experiences, exchange ideas and spur one another in the knowledge of this fast-growing field.

  VRCAI2010 will cover VRC Fundamentals, Systems, Interactions with special emphasis on Real

  World Applications and Commercializations of state-of-the-art VRC technologies.
