Hello everyone- the Virtual Environments Technical Group is soliciting demos for this year's conference- see the CFP below! Please contact me if you are interested in doing a demo of one of your training environments at HFES in Chicago.If you're reading this post, then you are doing cool and great work in the area of virtual environments, virtual reality and augmented reality. Based on the success of last year's Me and My VE event, we want to keep the momentum going and organize a session for HFES 2020 in Chicago, Illinois.The "Me and My VE" format focuses on showcasing the state of the art in virtual environment, virtual reality, and augmented reality capabilities being researched and developed across academia, industry and government. The goal of the event is to provide a forum for folks to present and demonstrate hands-on virtual environment capabilities being applied across a diverse set of contexts (e.g., training and education, test and validation practices, design and planning exercises, and human factors oriented research studies). If you have an environment you want to show-off, this is the event for you!We are looking for seven (7) to eight (8) interactive demonstrations to support the event. The event will occur during parallel paper sessions and last 90-minutes. Each presenter/demonstration will be given a short window of time to introduce the audience to what they will see and experience. The remainder of the time will be dedicated to audience interaction with all of the demonstrations.What's needed from you:(1) An email stating your interest in participating and a brief (3-5 sentences) description of the technology you would like to demonstrate.Following approval from the organizing chairs, you will be instructed to provide:(1) 3 Paragraph write-up that describes the Virtual Environment application to be demonstrated.(2) Video/Audio/Computing requirements to support your demonstration.The write-up will be included in a paper submission (with authorship) for inclusion in the HFES proceedings. This paper will incorporate an Introduction describing the event, a description of each VE included, and a conclusion. The submission deadline is February 24th, so please share interest by February 10th to give appropriate time to prepare the proposal.If you have any questions, or want to talk about the event, please contact me and the other session organizers via the email addresses listed below.v/rSarah Beadle (Chair; sbeadle@g.clemson.edu)Benjamin Goldberg (Co-Chair; benjamin.s.goldberg.civ@mail.mil)Randall Spain (Co-Chair; rspain@ncsu.edu)------------------------------
