As is the tradition, the 3D interaction group will be attending the IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces, to be held in the week of March 28th. This year’s conference will once again be held online, due to the coronavirus pandemic. On the right, we leave a picture of beautiful Lisbon, where the conference would have been held. We are confident and hopeful that next year we will be able to go back to meeting in person!
For this year’s conference, we are proud to announce that we got 8 publications accepted into the proceedings! Here are the works we will be presenting:
