Minitrack description : Virtual and Augmented Reality Recent years have seen the emergence of devices supporting virtual and augmented reality. Originally considered for entertainment purposes, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) found their way into industry applications in areas such as education and healthcare among others. Thanks to a constantly improving technology, VR and AR are on the path to become the future of computing. However, some limitations, such as high device cost, social acceptance and safety concerns, may negatively impact this new technology acceptance. Some possible topics to consider would be:

* Information sharing through VR and AR * Information safety in VR and AR * Cultural preservation with VR and AR * VR and AR as training platform and in education * VR and AR in entertainment * Social acceptance and social concern in VR and AR environments * Financial impact of VR and AR Mini-Track co-chairs : Guillaume Faddoul, San Francisco State University: gfaddoul@sfsu.edumailto:gfaddoul@sfsu.edu Pei-Hsuan Hsieh, National Chengchi University: pei.peace@gmail.commailto:pei.peace@gmail.com
