Why M-PaSTIVE?
Virtual environments can serve as platforms for training spatial navigation and complex skills in healthcare, education, rehabilitation, and workforce development. The effectiveness of these platforms depends on advances in multimodal signal processing that enable accurate scene understanding, real-time interaction, adaptive feedback, and perceptually coherent simulation. Modern virtual, augmented, and mixed reality systems rely on visual sensing, 3D reconstruction, motion tracking, gaze estimation, and multimodal sensor fusion to create immersive and responsive training experiences. Progress in spatial signal representation, learning-based perception, and real-time processing architectures is essential for improving realism, stability, and personalization in these environments. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on signal processing, computer vision, and multimodal learning methods that support interaction and skill acquisition in immersive systems.
Workshop Goals
- Connect signal processing, computer vision, and multimodal learning communities working on immersive systems.
