March 25 and 26, Alexandria, Virginia USA
(In conjunction with IEEE Virtual Reality 2006)

The IEEE Symposium on 3D User Interfaces 2006 is the first international symposium focused on the topic of 3D UIs and will be held to trigger discussions among participants and to provide an intensive exchange between industrial and academic researchers working in various 3DUI research areas. The Symposium builds on and expands the scope of the workshop "New Directions in 3D User Interfaces" in March 2005 and the workshop "Beyond Wand and Glove Based Interaction" in March 2004. The symposium will last for a day and a half, and will be followed immediately by the IEEE VR conference. Ravin Balakrishnan (University of Toronto) will give a keynote address.

The theme of the Symposium will again be expanded and the scope will include all types of 3D UI research. The Symposium themes include but are not limited to the following topics:

  • 3D input devices
  • 3D display devices
  • 3D interaction techniques
  • 3D user interface metaphors
  • collaborative 3D interaction
  • evaluation methods for 3D UIs
  • applications of 3D UI techniques

The Symposium solicits high quality papers and technotes. Papers (up to 8 pages, typically 6-8 pages) should describe original and mature research results and will typically include some evaluation of the presented results. Technotes (up to 4 pages, typically 2-4 pages) should contain preliminary results of research or design work within the scope of 3D UIs. Both should be prepared in IEEE VGTC format and submitted through the submission web site in PDF format. All submissions will be reviewed by the members of the program committee. The accepted papers and technotes will be published in the proceedings by IEEE and will also appear in the IEEE digital library (both IEEE Xplore and IEEE CS Digital Library).

For paper submission, registration, and hotel details, please see the Symposium website
