Dear colleagues,
We’re pleased to announce the 31st Center for Visual Science Symposium entitled “Frontiers in Virtual Reality.”
This symposium will bring together leaders in vision, neuroscience, multisensory research, optics, computer science and clinical applications whose work connects to new developments in virtual and augmented reality.
Feel free to share this as broadly as you wish (or let us know about different places where we can advertise the symposium). Given the multidisciplinary nature of this meeting, we would like to extend our advertising beyond the usual places (e.g. CVNet)
Dates: June 1-3, 2018
Organizers: Duje Tadin & Edmund Lalor (University of Rochester) and Gabriel Diaz (Rochester institute of Technology)
