The ICDVRAT conference series was initiated by Paul Sharkey, University of Reading UK in 1996. It runs biennially as an international conference held in different locations worldwide. Paul has established a research community of over 1,000 members from 35 countries with a range of interests in the application of virtual reality (VR) and its associated technologies in assessment, treatment and support of individuals with disability, impairment or support needs. There is a strong ethos on inclusion; bringing together technology developers, clinicians, research scientists.
Submission will be run through a two stage process: abstract submission - from January 6th to February 28th - and, upon abstract acceptance, full paper submission - April 1st to April 30th.
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Full papers describing advances on game-based solutions devised to improve motor, cognitive impairments and mental health conditions. The studies must be backed-up by data and data analytics.
- Posters describing advances on game-based solutions devised to improve motor, cognitive impairments and mental health conditions. The studies may not discuss data but need to display novel ideas/methods/approaches/systems.
