The Augmented Reality Summer School is an event organized by SALENTO AVR 2018 and it takes place in Torre dell’Orso (Lecce) from September 2 to 8. A whole week dedicated to discussion and talks on Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, and their combination with new mobile human-machine interfaces.
The Augmented Reality Summer School is open to Ph.D. and Master students, post-doctoral researchers and academic or industrial researchers. PhD students will receive credits (CFU) and they are encouraged to submit their research-in-progress presentation during the summer school. Researchers of university and industry who want to present the results of their projects or give a lecture on a specific topic concerning the augmented reality technology are welcome.
The Lectures provided by the Augmented Reality Summer School will span topics from Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR) applications to different fields, such as medicine, cultural heritage and arts, education, games and serious games.
EuroVR is pleased to be involved in the Scientific Committee of the Augmented Reality Summer School and, moreover, EuroVR President Marco Sacco will give the lecture Augmented & Virtual Reality enabler for the “Factory 4.0” (Lecture 3) on Wednesday, September 5th. Check out the program, click here.
– registration deadline and fee payment: August 15, 2018
– AR Summer School: September 2 – 8, 2018

It is now possible to take part in Laval Virtual ReVolution “VR5.0”, the competition which aims to bring together the most innovative projects in the field of virtual reality.
This initiative is part of Laval virtual (20-24 March 2019), the largest exhibition of innovations and new technologies, with 323 exhibitors and 18.400 visitors for 5 days. An international event that has brought together, in 21 years, professionals, students, researchers, entrepreneurs, journalist and users belonging to the VR field.
Imperial College London (South Kensington Campus), Department of Chemical Engineering, offers a job opportunity as “Research Assistant/Associate in Using VR in Engineering Education”.
Duration: 12 months
Closing date: 12 August 2018
Degree Level: Ph.D (UG or MSc degree in areas such as Computer Science and Engineering, will also be considered)
Major(s): Computer Science, Engineering.
The main role of the post holder is to help develop an interactive, multimodal environment for the exploration of transient, three-dimensional phenomena in mechanics-based modules, e.g. fluid dynamics, generated via in-house computational fluid dynamics software. Through this approach, students will develop a ‘feel’ and an intuition for the physical mechanisms underlying the flow phenomena, and the crucial assumptions and approximations which can be made in tackling complex flows, such as the ones typical of a wide range of settings.

News from the annual conference EuroVR2018 – call for papers: a new, but ultimate, deadline for the Scientific/Technical papers has been selected: July 4, 2018 23:59 CEST.
After a number of request, the submission deadline for Scientific/Technical papers has been extended in order to provide authors the opportunity to spread with an excellence label their innovative works within the wide community of end-users, from large industry up to SMEs.
EuroVR President Marco Sacco will contribute to the conference SalentoAVR as Keynote Speaker, giving a speech on “Augmented & Virtual Reality Enabler for the Factory 4.0”.
SalentoAVR is an international conference on Augmented and Virtual Reality which is taking place in Otranto from 24th to 27th June. On this occasion, EuroVR president will propose an analysis on the evolution of the manufacturing sector, the so call Factory 4.0, which requires the introduction of advanced tools for both the knowledge representation and simulation.
For over 10 years, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality have generated benefits in several sectors thanks to the potentialities offered by these visualization technologies able to provide an added value to the contents and data enrichment.
Manufacturing companies, thanks to the reduction of cost and a widespread of devices, could now take advantage integrating AR/VR to simulation and emerging AI. The result is a Virtual Factory, a full digital twin of the real plant, that could be used for several purposes, from design to monitoring and logistics, from reconfiguration to training. Some industrial applications will be presented.

VR Expo is an exhibition for professional VR & AR applications which will take place on the 5th and 6th of July in Stuttgart at Arena 2036 e.V.
This is a unique opportunity to delve into themes concerning the use of VR & AR in different sectors, like medicine, industry and architecture.
The VR Expo will host 47 exhibitors and relevant institutes (e.g. Fraunhofer IAO, IPA, High Performance Computing Centre, VISUS) which will open their labs to exhibitions, giving access to their CAVEs, power walls and high-resolution screens. Moreover, the exhibition will offer space for tech talks and discussion dealing with VR for design, mechanical engineering, architecture and technology advances.

The entrance is free.
Event supported by Daimler, Porsche, Audi, John Deere, Bosch, BSH, Microsoft, PTC, OPTIMA, and more.
4th July 2018: after the first successful workshop in 2017, RWTH Aachen University is pleased to announce the second “VR in Industry – Congress Fair in Aachen”.
The event will be hosted by TEMA-Technology and Marketing in the city of Aachen, Germany, and it represents a chanche to find out the possibilities offered by virtual- and augmented reality, not only for new product development opportunities and new distribution channels, but also completely new ways of training customers and employees.
The program of the conference is wide: Prof. Latoschik, one of the most renowned VR scientists in Germany, will hold a Keynote Talk concerning the theme “From (A)vatars zu (Z)ero Latency”.
Beyond this lecture the event includes also many exciting initiative, like “VR in Science and Industry – Network NRW e.V.“ which will be presented closely to the workshop.

The European Virtual Reality Tour has started!
EuroVR Association is co-funding an important initiative: the VR Tour. Organized by Laval Virtual, the tour is scheduled to visit the various actors operating in the fields of Virtual and Augmented Reality in all Europe.
The aim of this initiative is to build and enhance the relations among the actors and to consolidate the EuroVR network. The result of the Tour will lead to a map of the various actors operating in VR, AR, 3D and other related fields and areas of expertise.
It is therefore very important that EuroVR Members proactively support the VR Tour in each of its stops with some local resources. Members who want to contribute on specific stops can contact Laval Virtual organizers:
You can follow periodical updates of the VR Tour following EuroVR’s social media channels (Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn) and support the spreading of social materials using the hashtag #EuropeVRt.
