An invitation from the Chairs: Present your research


SPIE AR | VR | MR is the most important conference on optical architectures (optics, displays, sensors) for the next generation of smart glasses and head-mounted displays. We look forward to seeing your research on optical systems, subsystems, and/or the technological building blocks which will enhance the Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) experiences. We invite researchers and engineers from academia and industry to present and discuss recent developments in this rapidly advancing field.
