Full-day or half-day workshops are intended to bring together researchers, developers, technology providers, and users for a lively discussion of issues and an informal exchange of ideas and information.

Workshops may target a specific application area, a specific research area, or a topic of general interest.

We invite individuals or teams interested in organizing such a workshop to submit proposals. Workshops will be held on March 18th and 19th, 2017. Tutorials and the 2017 3DUI Symposium will also be held on these two days.

The intended audience and its expected size
A list of invited speakers (if any),

The expected benefits of participating in the workshop, and

Workshop organizers will be expected to issue their calls-for-participation no later than December 12nd and to issue any acceptance decisions to their participants no later than February 10th in order to allow sufficient time for travel planning and advance registration to the conference.
