Call for Participation

CVE 2000 is an international conference dedicated to the design, development and use of collaborative virtual environments (CVEs). It is the third conference in this bi-annual series, and attracts delegates from a wide number of fields. A CVE is a computer-based, distributed, virtual space or set of places. In such places, people can meet and interact with others, with agents or with virtual objects. CVEs might vary in their representational richness from 3D graphical spaces, 2.5D and 2D environments, to text based environments. Access to CVEs is by no means limited to desktop devices, but might well include mobile or wearable devices, public kiosks, etc.

The aim of the CVE conferences is to inspire fruitful discussion and encourage information flow between practitioners of different disciplines. Previous CVE conferences (CVE'96 and CVE'98) have attracted delegates from computer science, psychology, sociology, architecture and urban planning, cultural and media studies, and Artificial Intelligence.
