The workshop IMmersive Mixed and Virtual Environment Systems (MMVE) - co-located with ACM MMSys 2024, a premier conference on multimedia systems - was successfully organized by two CWI researchers of the Distributed and Interactive Systems group.
The 16th international workshop on IMmersive Mixed and Virtual Environment Systems (MMVE 2024) took place in Bari on April 18, 2024. It was co-located with the premier conference on multimedia systems ACM MMSys 2024.
This year the workshop was organized by postdoc Silvia Rossi as general chair and scientific developer Thomas Röggla as web chair both from the Distributed and Interactive System (DIS) group of CWI. They were assisted by Débora C. M. Saade (UFF, Brazil) as technical program chair.
MMVE started in 2008 and serves as an inclusive and interdisciplinary forum, spanning a broad spectrum of topics related to immersive media or extended reality (XR), including mixed reality (MR), augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR). This workshop allows the gathering and interaction of researchers in the field of immersive technology, from both academia and industry, with multimedia system researchers.
This year MMVE received an impressive number of 21 high-quality submissions spanning a broad spectrum of multimedia topics, including virtual reality, multisensory experience, point cloud compression, quality of experience, social virtual reality, avatar design, and gaming. As a result, 13 full papers and 2 short ones have been presented in the workshop. Keeping the tradition of MMVE as an interactive and discussion-oriented workshop that serves as an inclusive and interdisciplinary forum, the program was structured with two oral sessions and one poster session to facilitate engagement and collaboration.
During the workshop, the latest research effort of the DIS group was also presented by Thomas Röggla. In particular, the paper presents an open source tool for collecting and storing behavioural data from the popular social VR platform Mozilla Hubs.
