We welcome you to include links to photos, screenshots, videos (such as YouTube videos), articles, blogs and other materials that will help us review your proposed presentation or exhibit.

Topics open for new speakers and exhibitors include: Wearable computing (e.g., Google Glass and Oculus Rift); virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MXR), mechanical and neural interfaces, affective computing (systems that can recognize, interpret, process, and simulate human feelings and emotions), neuro-gaming technologies (that are used to create adaptive and radically compelling game experiences), 3D printing, personal robotics, virtual currencies and economies (universal digital micropayments, Bitcoin and related cryptocurrencies), telepresence, virtual worlds, simulations, game-based learning and training systems, immersive MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), and fully immersive environments such as caves and domes.

IMMERSIVE RESEARCHER'S SUMMIT CALL FOR PROPOSALS (CfP)

IMMERSION 2014 introduces an exciting new format for the global Immersive Education Summit. An entirely new Immersive Researcher's Summit, dedicated entirely to research in the field of immersion, will soon be announced as a complement to IMMERSION 2014.

The official announcement and Call for Proposals (CfP) for the forthcoming Immersive Researcher's Summit will include an open call for papers, general sessions (presentations, posters, panels, demos and workshops), and outliers (novel late-breaking research and technology).

For updates and notices related to IMMERSION 2014 and the Immersive Researcher's Summit, including "sneak peek" early access to announcements and Calls for Proposals (CfP):

IMMERSION 2014

Building on the success of the previous 8 years of Immersive Education (iED) conferences, the world's leading experts in immersion convene June 6-8 in Los Angeles California for IMMERSION 2014. Hosted by Loyola Marymount University (LMU) in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution and the Western USA Chapter of the Immersive Education Initiative (iED West), IMMERSION 2014 opens with a special Arts & Culture reception at The Getty Center.

IMMERSION 2014 addresses the personal and cultural impact of digital technologies such as wearable computing (e.g., Google Glass and Samsung Gear), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MXR), mechanical and neural interfaces, affective computing (systems that can recognize, interpret, process, and simulate human feelings and emotions), neuro-gaming technologies (that are used to create adaptive and radically compelling game experiences), 3D printing, personal robotics, virtual currencies and economies (universal digital micropayments, Bitcoin and related cryptocurrencies), telepresence, virtual worlds, simulations, game-based learning and training systems, immersive MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), and fully immersive environments such as caves and domes.

For the first time since its inception the global iED Summit features an exciting new module-based conference format and price structure. IMMERSION 2014 modules include Arts & Culture, Entertainment, Human-Computer Interaction, a screening and panel discussion of the movie HER, Immersive Teaching & Learning, and Business and Economics.

About the Immersive Education Initiative

The Immersive Education Initiative is a non-profit international collaboration of educational institutions, research institutes, museums, consortia and companies. The Initiative was established in 2005 with the mission to define and develop standards, best practices, technology platforms, training and education programs, and communities of support for virtual worlds, virtual reality, augmented and mixed reality, simulations, game-based learning and training systems, and fully immersive environments such as caves and domes.

Thousands of faculty, researchers, staff and administrators are members of the Immersive Education Initiative, who together service millions of academic and corporate learners worldwide.

Chapters support the rapid and continued growth of Immersive Education throughout the world, and constitute the geographically distributed structure of the organization through which regional and local members are supported and enriched. Chapters organize officially sanctioned Summits, Days, workshops, collaborations, seminars, lectures, forums, meetings, public service events and activities, technical groups, technical work items, research, and related activities.
