The scope of the conference covers a variety of topics ranging from fundamental research to industrial applications.

Registration is free for presenters and attendees! Best papers will be directly published in the International Journal of Virtual Reality before the conference.

Papers may come from any area of XR. ConVRgence VRIC 2021 seeks contributions addressing at least one of the following 3 topics:
