SCOPE

As advent of high-speed network and grid computing technologies, virtual reality environment distributed over gigabit network has been shared to construct a huge shared space where many new applications including Tele-medicine, space and industrial design, entertainment, virtual museum, 3D-shopping, etc. are realized using computer graphics device, huge computing power and human sensing devices.  

The INVITE'2026 is the 21st international workshop and will serve as a forum for the exchange of information and ideas regarding with Network-based Virtual Reality and Tele-existence. The INVITE'2026 is will be held in conjunction with International Conference on Network-Based Information Systems (NBiS'2026) Kwansei Gakuin University, Japan. We invite you to participate in the INVITE'2026 workshop and submit papers on the research, development and applications on topics related to network-based virtual reality and Tele-existence. Since the field of VR is still evolving, the scope of the conference is broad. Among the areas that INVITE'2026 will cover are :

• Software Architectures for Network-based VR
• Tools and Techniques for Modeling Network VR Systems
• Distributed VR Systems
• VR Interaction and Navigation Techniques
• Tele-presence and Telemedicine
• Spatial 3D Audio
• Motion Tracking
• VR Input and Output Devices
• Innovative Applications of VR
• Human Factors of VR
• Evaluation of VR Techniques and Systems
