convenes the world's leading experts in immersion and immersive
technologies in Paris this fall. The event, which is open to the public,
will take place in the famous lecture halls of the historic Paris-Sorbonne
University from September 7 to September 10.

IMMERSION 2015 addresses the personal and cultural impact of immersive
technologies such as Virtual Reality (e.g., Facebook's Oculus Rift, Samsung
Gear VR, Google Cardboard, HTC Vive), augmented reality and mixed reality
(e.g., Microsoft HoloLens), holograms and holography, wearable computing
(e.g., Google Glass and Apple Watch), mechanical and neural brain
interfaces, cybernetics, affective computing (systems that can recognize,
interpret, process, and simulate human feelings and emotions), neuro-gaming
technologies that are used to create adaptive and radically compelling
entertainment experiences, 3D printing, personal robotics, telepresence,
virtual worlds, simulations, game-based learning and training systems, and
fully immersive environments such as caves and domes.

As a special event that is open to the public, the first two days of
IMMERSION 2015 will feature general-interest keynote addresses, talks,
panel discussions and exhibits. The event concludes with hands-on workshops
and a 2 day technical (research) conference specifically for researchers,
academics, teachers and corporate trainers.
