Are you an XR enthusiast or researcher who has an VR/AR/MR application that you'd like to demonstrate at this year's HFES meeting? If so, then this is the event for you!

Submit your demo description no later than Monday February 19, 2024 – Read more below!

What: The XR Showcase will be an alternative session for HF students, faculty, practitioners and professionals to showcase state-of-the-art extended reality (XR) applications. Last year's session included 13 different demonstrations with +100 attendees. 

Overview of the session: This is an interactive session. It's much like an interactive poster session, but with XR applications! The session will begin with each presenter briefly introducing (<2 mins) their application. Once this lightning round of introductions is finished, audience members will be free to move around the room and interact with all the demonstrations. Last year's session included demonstrations from academia, industry, and government.

What's required: If you're interested in participating in this showcase, please send an email stating your interest and a brief written description of the XR application you would like to demonstrate as an attachment to randall.d.spain.civ@army.mil by Monday February 19, 2024.

Your written description should include the following:

• 2 paragraphs describing the application you plan to demonstrate and how it relates to human factors research (e.g., training and education, test and validation practices, design and planning exercises, and human factors-oriented research studies, etc.).

• Several sentences describing the equipment you plan to bring to support the demonstration (Video/Audio/Computing requirements to support your demonstration).

• A picture of the environment or application.

If you have any questions, or want to talk about the event, please contact Randall Spain (randall.d.spain.civ@army.mil) or the other session organizers listed below. You can also look at last year's proceedings to learn about the submission.

Thanks!
