We are very delighted and honored to host VRCAI 2010, The 9th International Conference on
Virtual-Reality Continuum and Its Applications in Industry.
VRC (Virtual-Reality Continuum) is critical in the way we define, and interact with and within, our
real and virtual worlds, allowing us to overcome the limitations of time and space and providing
seamless integration of real and virtual worlds. Advances in research and novel applications of
VRC will revolutionize much of our communication, learning, collaboration, design and
entertainment activities, making them more appealing, immersive, interactive, and joyful. As a
result, considerable change in individual/social life style is expected and the market of this area is
likely to grow rapidly.
In an effort to advance research, development, and commercialization of VRC technologies,
VRCAI 2010 aims at providing a forum for scientists, researchers, designers, artists, industry
leaders, and users in the international VRC community to share experiences, exchange ideas,
and spur one another regarding state-of-the-art technologies and applications, spanning Virtual
Reality (VR), Augmented Virtuality (AV), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). We
believe that such advanced VRC technologies will play vital roles in creating next-generation
Ubiquitous and Ultra Realistic Communication (UURC) Environments.
VRCAI 2010 will focus on the following main themes: Fundamentals, Systems, Interactions, and
Industry Applications. Through invaluable presentations and discussions during VRCAI2010, we
would like to explore future directions and visions for the creation of new VRC industries as well
as new paradigms in this field.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all committee members and supporting
organizations for their tremendous efforts and help in organizing a wonderful VRCAI 2010.
The success of this great event depends on your participation and we sincerely hope to see you
all at the conference.
