Call for Posters

IEEE MetaCom 2023 provides a forum for academic researchers and industry practitioners to present research progresses, exchange new ideas, and identify future directions in the field of Computing, Networking, and Applications for Metaverse.

Technical posters showing/presenting innovative and original research related to Metaverse computing, networking, as well as their corresponding systems and applications are solicited. All researchers in related areas are welcome to submit their work for presentation at the conference. Posters can be work in progress and abstract of innovative ideas. Authors of accepted posters will be invited to present their work in an interactive poster or physical installation presentation session. Accepted and presented posters will be published in the IEEE MetaCom 2023 Conference Proceedings and included in IEEE Xplore.
