📅 June, 2025 📍 Nashville, US
Workshop on Computer Vision for Mixed Reality
In conjunction with CVPR 2025
Call for Papers

Overview

Virtual Reality (VR) technologies have the potential to transform the way we use computing to interact with our environment, do our work and connect with each other. VR devices provide users with immersive experiences at the cost of blocking the visibility of the surrounding environment. With the advent of passthrough techniques such as those in Quest-3 and Apple Vision Pro, now users can build deeply immersive experiences which mix the virtual and the real world into one, often also called Mixed Reality (MR). MR poses a set of very unique research problems in computer vision that are not covered by VR. Our focus is on capturing the real environment around the user using cameras which are placed away from the user's eyes, yet reconstruct the environment with high fidelity, augmented the environment with virtual objects and effects, and all in real-time. We aim to offer the research community to deeply understand the unique challenges of Mixed Reality and research on novel methods encompassing View Synthesis, Scene Understanding, efficient On-Device AI among other things.

Topics of Interest

The CV4MR 2025 workshop will highlight frontiers of innovation in turning wearable computers, sensors and displays into augmentations of human capability for productivity, life improvement or recreation. Since this topic is inherently interdisciplinary, we encourage authors to submit works in AI, Computer Vision, Image Processing or Computational Photography that they think are applicable to advancing this field.

Authors are highly encouraged to motivate their applications for Mixed Reality in the submissions.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of topics we encourage submissions on:

  • Innovations in Real-Time passthrough
    • View Synthesis
    • Image and Audio Stylization
  • 3D Scene recovery from ego sensors
    • Depth Estimation
    • 3D capture, reconstruction and rendering for virtual objects
    • SLAM and tracking
  • Scene and Human understanding
  • AI Agents for human assistance
    • Scenegraph-modifying or task agents
    • Humanoid / conversational agents
  • AI for User Interaction and Spatial Design
  • Innovations in AI-based graphics for Mixed Reality
  • We also encourage submission on novel Applications of Mixed Reality in areas such as Healthcare, Manufacturing, etc.

Submission Guidelines:

  • We invite submissions of max 8 pages (excluding references), and 4-page extended abstracts as well.
  • Submitted manuscript should follow the CVPR 2025 paper template.
  • If you have other media to attach (videos etc), please feel free to add anonymized links.
  • Submissions will be rejected without review if they:
      1. Contain more than 8 pages (excluding references).
      2. Violate the double-blind policy.
      3. Violate the dual-submission policy for papers with more than 4 pages excluding references (to reiterate, we will not accept full papers already accepted into CVPR’s papers track).
  • Authors submitting to the workshop will be asked to be added to the pool of reviewers. For submissions with more than 2 authors, we will ask that at least 2 authors agree to be added to the workshop reviewer pool. We will do our best to make the review workload reasonable, but for fairness, submissions by authors not completing reviews may be desk-rejected.


Reviewing for CV4MR 2025

Reviewers are the backbone for the integrity of knowledge in our workshop. For those interested in being added to the reviewer pool, please email cv4mr@googlegroups.com with the subject “Reviewer Pool Participation”, some information about you, and your resume attached.
