Edito What is real, what is virtual? Such a question might become a past way. Human being is already arriving into the virtual world thanks to mobile and information technologies. Sometime, the value in computer world may be felt as greater than classic daily life. However, the most value of current world is “we are living” in this world. It looks similar positions of difference between research and development. We can imagine an imaginary dream but we must plan a great journey between a research to developments. In the other words, if we want to stay to live here, we cannot leave from here. We must keep exploring the new world with new technologies through actual life. our ancestral, Homo sapiens idaltu did so. We have already done to step out from past common sense, then we must find where we can live next. It is not only in the academia but also in daily life. Please gather in a frontier village in virtual reality. Laval Virtual ReVolution 2014 will give you to the residence to explore the next world.

LAVAL VIRTUAL REVOLUTION 2014 CALL FOR DEMOS

Presentations of the world’s most innovative achievements in the field of virtual reality, augmented reality and their future applications, Laval Virtual ReVolution is an annual honor of the world’s finest VR projects by Laval Virtual. It is a hall of fame that decides the best Virtual Reality demonstration and/or application from all over the world. Virtual Reality is not only a technology but also a never ending story about the history between computers and humans. We cannot know the ending of this story yet, as we still need to find and walk one of the many possible paths that will lead us to a future navigated by brilliant stars. Future voyagers will continue staring at those stars along their way. Of course, a great number of academic papers or commercial products can build a culture of Virtual Reality. However we suggest a new relation between developmental projects and the general public at on-site demonstrations. If a project has impact, technology and persuasiveness, it might move the general public and change our common sense. So, this means a revolution in the history of Virtual Reality. Please try to join today’s stardom with your exciting project and share in the activity from all over the world! We hope to accept your brilliant projects which can help foster the current conceptions of Virtual Reality and make changes to the current human-computer interfaces and Virtual Reality history.  Technology Demonstration
