The VRST 2018 offers exhibitors and sponsors an opportunity to showcase
their company's products, attractive demos and innovative solutions at the
symposium. Please refer to the conference web-page for information about
singing up to become an exhibitor or sponsor at VRST 2018.

The VRST brings together the main international research groups working on AR/VR/MR, along with many of the world’s leading companies that provide or consume AR/VR systems. The VRST 2018 conference will be held in Tokyo, Japan, hosted by Waseda University, from Wednesday, Nov. 28th to Saturday, Dec. 1st, 2018.
