ICVR is an international conference that provides an overview of novel technological and clinical developments in the field of virtual reality and augmented reality applied to rehabilitation.In 2013, ICVR will be held in Philadelphia, PA in conjunction with the Eleanor Saffran Cognitive Neuroscience Conference sponsored by Temple University. The Saffran Conference will be held at the Marriot Courtyard on Monday, August 26th. The workshop sessions for ICVR will be held on the afternoon of Monday, August 26th. Regular sessions for ICVR will be held from August 27th – August 29th, 2013. Participants are invited to attend both conferences. Both conferences are held in Philadelphia, the birthplace of life, liberty, and the cheesesteak sandwich. Whether you want to learn about the country’s origins, get loud at a ball game, or just chow down on local fare, Philly is the place to be. The city celebrates its Revolutionary ties at Independence Hall just a ten minute walk from your hotel, where the Declaration of Independence was adopted and the U.S. Constitution written. Nearby, the historic Liberty Bell hangs for all to see. You can also tour Betsy Ross’ house, where the nation’s first flag was sewn. The country’s original capital is as much a melting pot as the rest of the nation, and memorials and museums dedicated to African American, Irish, Jewish, Polish, Quaker, and Swedish citizens are located around the city.
