The city of Singapore proudly hosts the 7th ACM SIGGRAPH International Conference on Virtual-Reality Continuum and its Applications in Industry (VRCAI 2008), on 8-9 December 2008. This year, the conference will take place just before SIGGRAPH Asia 2008.

An exciting VRCAI 2008 awaits participants from both academia and industry in Singapore – a hotbed of innovation - where state-of-the-art technologies and applications in the Virtual Reality Continuum (VRC) will be explored and presented. Spanning across next-generation infocommunication environments like Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Virtuality (AV), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR), VRC is key in the way we define and interact, with and within, our virtual worlds. Advances in research and novel applications in this field have revolutionized much of our leisure activities, making them more appealing and fun.

Just as significantly, these advances provide the foundation for more effective interactivity in work- and learning-related activities.

VRCAI 2008 will focus on the following main themes: Fundamentals, Systems, Interactions, and Industry and Applications in the VRC.
