The EXTENDED REALITY TECHNICAL GROUP is concerned with human factors issues associated with human-virtual environment interaction. These issues include maximizing human performance efficiency in virtual environments, ensuring health and safety, and circumventing potential social problems through proactive assessment. For VE/VR systems to be effective and well received by their users, researchers need to focus significant efforts on addressing human factors issues.

    📣 Call for Papers and Participation!!

    *** Paper submissions due January 13, 2022 ***

    The 1st International Workshop on eXtended Reality for Industrial and Occupational Supports (XRIOS) at IEEE VR 2022 (https://sites.google.com/view/xrios2022) is a half-day (3-hour) online workshop, will be held either on March 12 or 13, 2022 (TBD).

    [Overview]
    This workshop aims to identify the current state of XR research and the gaps in the scope of human factors and ergonomics, mainly related to industrial and occupational tasks, and discuss potential future research directions. XRIOS will build a community that bridges XR developers and HFES researchers interested in industrial and occupational applications.

    [Call for Papers]
    XRIOS 2022 seeks paper submissions (1-4 pages, excluding references). The accepted papers of XRIOS 2022 will be published electronically through the IEEE Digital Library as a form of IEEE VR Abstract and Workshops proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register, attend, and present at XRIOS 2022.

    A range of topics, which embrace different disciplines and perspectives, are invited to contribute to XRIOS, including, but not restricted to:
    • Industrial and occupational applications in XR
    • Occupational safety and health training in XR
    • XR for laborers in workplaces (e.g., construction, healthcare)
    • XR in dynamic environments (e.g., transportation, emergency care support workers)
    • XR for industrial job training -XR for industrial hygiene
    • Exoskeletons with XR for rehabilitation
    • Physical and musculoskeletal assessment in XR
    • Physiological and fatigue assessment in XR
    • Physical and cognitive workload in XR
    • Ergonomic considerations for wearable XR devices
    • Working from home with XR in post COVID-19
    • Remote collaboration and learning in XR
    • Office/workplace ergonomics in XR
    • Measures and human-performance modeling in XR
    [Submission Guidelines]
    All papers that plan to be published at IEEE VR Abstract and Workshops proceedings must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. Submissions must be written in English and prepared in IEEE Computer Society VGTC (IEEE VR Conference) format. LaTeX and Word templates as well as a sample PDF can be found at: https://tc.computer.org/vgtc/publications/conference/. The papers must be submitted in PDF format electronically via PCS (https://new.precisionconference.com/).

    [Important Dates]
    All deadlines are Anywhere on Earth (GMT/UTC-12:00)
    • Submission deadline: January 13, 2022
    • Notification of results: January 20, 2022
    • Camera-ready deadline for inclusion in the IEEE Digital Library: January 27, 2022
