Abstract
This special issue of IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG) contains the 29 full papers selected for the IEEE Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces (IEEE VR 2018) Conference held in Reutlingen, Germany, March 18-22, 2017. Since its inception in 1993, IEEE VR has been the premier venue to present new research results in the field of Virtual Reality (VR). The strong current trends toward VR systems for consumer audiences heightens the importance of this event. This fact is reflected in the cooperation between TVCG and IEEE VR, which is in its seventh year and is one cornerstone of the strategy of TVCG to combine computer graphics and data visualization in its scope with virtual and augmented reality. The special issue format combines speed of publication with all the established advantages of an archival journal. To that end, a rigorous and competitive two-round review process was performed to ensure the highest quality.
期刊介绍:
TVCG is a scholarly, archival journal published monthly. Its Editorial Board strives to publish papers that present important research results and state-of-the-art seminal papers in computer graphics, visualization, and virtual reality. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: rendering technologies; geometric modeling and processing; shape analysis; graphics hardware; animation and simulation; perception, interaction and user interfaces; haptics; computational photography; high-dynamic range imaging and display; user studies and evaluation; biomedical visualization; volume visualization and graphics; visual analytics for machine learning; topology-based visualization; visual programming and software visualization; visualization in data science; virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality; advanced display technology, (e.g., 3D, immersive and multi-modal displays); applications of computer graphics and visualization.
