Kaj Helin, Matthieu Poyade, Mirabelle D’Cruz, Richard M. Eastgate, Päivi Vahala · 2018
We are pleased to present these conference proceedings in the VTT Technology series, the papers accepted for the Industrial Track of EuroVR 2018, the 15th annual EuroVR conference, Savoy Place, London, United Kingdom, 22nd to 23th October 2018. In previous years the EuroVR conference has been held in Bremen (2014), Lecco (2015), Athens (2016), and Laval (2017). This series was initiated in 2004 by the INTUITION Network of Excellence in Virtual and Augmented Reality, supported by the European Commission until 2008, and incorporated within the Joint Virtual Reality Conferences (JVRC) from 2009 to 2013. The focus of the EuroVR conferences is to present, each year, novel Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, including software systems, display technologies, interaction devices, and applications, to foster engagement between industry, academia, and the public sector, and to promote the development and deployment of VR/MR/AR technologies in new, emerging, and existing fields. This annual event of the EuroVR association (https://www.eurovr-association.org/) provides a unique platform for exchange between researchers, technology providers, and end users around commercial or research applications. This publication is a collection of the industrial papers presented at the conference. It provides an interesting perspective into current and future industrial applications of VR/AR/MR. The Industrial Track is an opportunity for industry to tell the research and development communities what they use the technologies for, to say what they really think about VR/AR/MR, and to explain their needs now and in the future. You will find presentations from large and small industries from all over Europe and beyond. We would like to warmly thank the industrial committee chairs for their great support and commitment to the conference, and special thanks go to the local organizing committee for their great effort in making this event happen . Enjoy your time in London!
