Workshop on Everyday Virtual Reality: Rethinking Virtual Reality for Home and Office Environments (WEVR 2015) (WEVR 2015)

Traditionally, Virtual Reality has been conceived for purpose-built highly instrumented laboratories. However, the upcoming release of consumer grade Virtual Reality head-mounted displays will allow users to experience VR in everyday environments such as their own home or office where obstacles are commonplace and tracking is not trivial. If consumer VR is to evolve beyond the desktop paradigm, a rethinking of the way we design and implement interactive VR systems for these environments is needed. This half-day workshop will bring together researchers and industry practitioners to explore these new challenges and define a new research agenda.
