IEEE VR 2027 — IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces

IEEE VR 2027, the IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces, runs 27 February - 3 March 2027 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre in Melbourne, Australia — the first time the conference has been held in Australia. Sponsored by IEEE, the IEEE Computer Society and the IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Community, it is the premier international venue for advances in virtual, augmented and mixed reality. The call for papers covers 3D user interfaces and display technologies; tracking, sensing and input devices; haptic and audio interfaces; presence, avatars and embodied agents; locomotion, navigation and redirection; accessibility and human factors; collaborative multi-user systems; therapeutic and rehabilitation applications; software architectures and toolkits; and ethical issues and diversity in VR/AR/MR. The bid was secured by the Melbourne Convention Bureau with IEEE, Monash University and La Trobe University, backed by the Victorian Government, and organisers expect more than 800 international delegates.

• ✓VP of Emerging Technology
• ✓XR and spatial computing product leads
• ✓CTOs in healthcare, training and simulation
• ✓HCI and VR/AR researchers
• ✓Interaction and 3D interface designers
• ✓Innovation and R&D directors

Immersive interfaces are where spatial computing, embodied AI agents and industrial digital twins actually meet a human being, and IEEE VR is where those results are peer-reviewed rather than demoed on a trade-show floor. A VP of emerging technology, an XR product lead or a CTO running training, simulation or clinical rehabilitation programmes gets five days of work on tracking, haptics, presence, avatars, collaboration and accessibility — enough to judge which hardware and interaction claims survive contact with evidence before committing a pilot budget — plus direct access to the Monash and La Trobe research groups co-hosting it and to 800-plus delegates from the field.

• ✓Papers track with a mandatory abstract round and a two-stage review including a revise-and-resubmit cycle
• ✓Separate workshops programme with its own call for proposals
• ✓Research sessions on 3D user interfaces, display technologies, tracking, sensing and input devices
• ✓Sessions on presence, avatars and embodied agents
• ✓Coverage of accessibility and human factors in immersive systems
• ✓Papers on ethical issues and diversity in VR/AR/MR, and on therapeutic and rehabilitation applications

• ★First time in its history that IEEE VR has been held in Australia — the bid was won by the Melbourne Convention Bureau with IEEE, Monash University and La Trobe University, with Victorian Government support.
• ★More than 800 international delegates expected; the Melbourne Convention Bureau describes it as the world's largest and most influential gathering of virtual reality and 3D user interface experts.
• ★Two-stage review with a formal revision round — initial review notifications on 30 November 2026, revised submissions on 31 December 2026, final notifications on 7 January 2027 — rather than a single accept/reject decision.
• ★A separate workshops programme with its own call, running alongside the main papers track.
• ★Anchored in Melbourne's immersive research base, including the Microsoft Research Centre for Social Natural User Interfaces (SocialNUI), an $8 million partnership with the University of Melbourne and the Victorian Government.
