IEEE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON MIXED AND AUGMENTED REALITY
Bari, Italy
October 4 to 8, 2021
http://www.ismar21.org/

This year IEEE ISMAR, similar to IEEE VR, will have two separate Calls for Papers:
1. This first call is for submission to the TVCG journal paper track. 
The accepted papers will be published in a special issue of IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG). 

2. The second call for papers will be for submission to the conference proceedings. 
The conference track call for papers and timeline will be published at a later date. 
The conference track submission deadline will occur soon after the journal track notification.

IMPORTANT DEADLINES
●      Abstract Deadline: 7th March 2021 (23:59 AoE)
●      Paper Submission Deadline: 15th Mar 2021 (23:59 AoE)
●      Notification: 21st May 2021
●      Camera-ready Version: 5th July 2021

OVERVIEW
ISMAR 2021, the premier conference for Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) will be held on October 4-8 in Bari, Italy.

ISMAR is responding to the recent explosion of commercial and research activities related to AR and MR and VR by continuing the expansion of its scope over the past several years. ISMAR 2021 will cover the full range of technologies from interfaces in the real world to fully immersive experiences. This range goes far beyond the traditional definition of AR, which focused on precise 3D tracking, visual display, and real-time performance. We specifically invite contributions to advancing all AR / MR / VR technology.
