The IJVR actively solicits papers from professionals in the fields of immersive technologies to share the results of research and innovations with colleagues and interested parties around the rest of the world. We hope the IJVR to be of extraordinary value to the profession. IJVR accepts research papers which present primary and unpublished studies, with a maximum word count of 8,000. The following format is recommended: 1) Abstract, 2) Introduction, 3) Related work, 4) Materials and Methods, 5) Results, 6) Discussion, 7) Conclusion and perspectives.


Although some literature reviews have been published in the past and still recently, this category of article is no longer our main focus. However, the editorial board reserves the right to consider articles that would provide a comprehensive overview of an emerging topic of great importance and clear interest to the community.
