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.

    Hi Everyone!
    The 67th International Annual Meeting Call for Proposals is Now Open! I am posting a copy of the call in case anyone missed an email. 

    "We are excited to announce that the call for proposals for the 67th International Annual Meeting of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) is now open. This premier educational event, taking place October 23-27, at the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington, DC, provides an unparalleled opportunity to share your latest work, and network with fellow professionals in the field of human factors and ergonomics.

     By submitting a proposal for consideration, you will have the opportunity to establish yourself as a leader in the field by presenting your work to an international audience. Proposals can take the form of a draft paper (up to 5 pages) or an extended abstract and must conform to the guidelines found here. Additionally, you can download a summary of the accepted submission types and their requirement by clicking here. While a draft paper or abstract is required for review, publication of a paper will be optional for selected proposals."

    Please feel free to pass this along to student researchers you might know as well. The Student Papers are always innovating and really highlight the many ways virtual environments and extended reality technologies can be utilized in human factors and ergonomics. 

    See you in October!
