LAVAL VIRTUAL REVOLUTION 2017
CALL FOR DEMOS (ver.3.2)
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 in France. 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 to stare at those stars along their way. While the Virtual Reality culture can also be built by academic papers or commercial products independently, we would like to 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 projects and share in the activity from all over the world! We hope to accept your brilliant projects which can help to foster the current conceptions of Virtual Reality and make changes to the current human-computer interfaces and Virtual Reality history.
[Venue] Laval Virtual / Salle Polyvalente (Place de Hercé, 53000 Laval, France)
[Deadline] Submission ID creation deadline: 31/DEC/2016 (End of 2016 in GMT)
[TransHumanism++]
Laval Virtual ReVolution 2017 calls for innovative virtual reality demo projects that fall under the theme, “TransHumanism++”.
Transhumanism (abbreviated as H+) is an international intellectual movement which aims at transforming the human society by developing widely available sophisticated technologies that will greatly enhance human intelligence, physical condition, and psychological capacities.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transhumanism
Transhumanists support the emergence and convergence of technologies including nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, and cognitive science. They also welcome hypothetical future technologies such as simulated reality, artificial intelligence, superintelligence, 3D bioprinting, mind uploading, chemical brain preservation and cryonics. They believe that humans can and should use these technologies to surpass the limitations of humankind.
Laval Virtual ReVolution 2017 seeks to act as a milestone for the realization of “Transhumanism + future of {Virtual Reality + Arts + Culture}”. We welcome the submission of scientific experiences and academic demos that showcase a brighter future for humankind with the aid of Transhumanism projects. Some examples of Transhumanism projects include super human sports which can be enjoyed in everywhere by anyone at every time with augmented human technologies. Demonstrations will be judged based on for their durability, innovation, and value of entertainment or human-being.
Technology Demonstration
- New device and integrations
- Super Human Sports
- Handicap and universal design experience
- Scientific Demonstration
- Large space demonstration
- Haptic interface
- Display technologies
- Interactive Arts
- Entertainment VR
- New Media Designs

Current Virtual Reality technology includes computer generated graphics, display technologies, haptics, force feedback and interface design in the context of implementing new experiences that encourage users to use a virtual system to enhance their real, mundane lives. It may be called as entertainment system in current virtual reality. However its function may be linked to humanism which bring us into the next generation of human being. Share your experience, and proof it in the professional and public during Laval Virtual 2017. ReVolution is best opportunity to demonstrate your projects to professional and for the grand public.
