ICAT'08 will host a demonstration session each day. It features live demonstrations given by their developers, and provides an opportunity for researchers on artificial reality and telexistence and for practitioners to present and exchange ideas in an interactive way. These demonstrations present all or part of a working system developed for various tasks in this field.

We request proposals for demonstrations on any topics that are related to artificial reality and telexistence from both academic institutions and industry. Please submit the following in a single file (preferably in ZIP) by email at icat2008-demo (at) ozawa.ics.keio.ac.jp.
