   Overview:
    
   Tutorials are an excellent opportunity to offer education in topics  
in our field for both novice and experienced researchers. We invite  
members of our community to submit proposals for half-day tutorials to  
be presented on Sunday, March 22, 2020. Please note that workshops  
will also be held on this day.
    
   Proposed tutorials may be introductory or advanced and should  
address topics of interest to the extended reality communities  
(virtual, mixed, or augmented reality), as well as the 3D user  
interface community. Proposals will be evaluated on their relevance to  
the conference topics, their suitability for presentation in a  
tutorial format, and the qualifications of the instructors. We will  
strive for a balance of topics in the tutorial program and also  
consider the potential for interest and attendance. Upon review of  
submitted proposals, suggestions may be provided by the Tutorials  
chairs to submitters on how to improve their submission. 
    
    
   Suggested topics include but are not limited to:
    
   –  3D interaction
   –  Input devices
   –  Haptics, audio, and other non-visual interfaces
   –  Systems, toolkits, software frameworks, and game engines for VR/AR/MR
   –  Introduction to virtual, augmented, or mixed reality
   –  Computer graphics techniques for VR/AR/MR
   –  Advanced display technology
   –  Immersive projection technology
   –  Multi-user and distributed VR/AR/MR
   –  Serious games
   –  Tracking and sensing
   –  Modeling and simulation
   –  User studies and evaluation
   –  Immersion, presence, perception, and cognition
   –  Navigation
   –  Applications of VR/AR/MR
   –  Teleoperation and telepresence
   –  Submission Guidelines
    
   Proposals are welcome on topics that have been previously  
addressed; in addition, new topics, approaches, or insights are  
especially appreciated. Submissions should include a statement  
indicating how the proposal differs from recent tutorial presentations  
that may have approached a similar topic, or why it is important to  
offer it again. Topics taken from the list of suggested topics  
appropriate for paper submissions to the main conference are also  
welcome. 
    
    
   Proposals for tutorials should be submitted electronically (PDF)  
and should include:
    
   –  A title for the tutorial
   –  A brief description of the topics to be addressed, including  
time allotted to each (roughly 500 words)
   –  The technical level and intended audience
   –  The expected value to that audience
   –  The names, contact information and a short biography (roughly  
200 words each) for the proposed instructors. 
   Also include whether the tutorial (or similar one) has been  
delivered before (where and when), and if so, why it should be held  
again. This is required whether the proposers organized the previous  
tutorials themselves or the previous tutorials were taught by someone  
else. 
    
   Tutorial submissions must be submitted via email to the Tutorials  
Chairs at tutorials2020 [at] ieeevr.org.
    
   For each accepted tutorial, we will be able to provide a free  
one-day registration for the day of the tutorial, or a reduction on  
one registration for the whole conference.
