Since 2009, Visual Computing Trends has been a biennial, one-day symposium at which, at the invitation of VRVis, four renowned international speakers provide insights and perspectives into the latest visual computing and computer graphics research. In the past years we were pleased to welcome about 200 to 300 guests from more than 15 countries. The Visual Computing Trends Symposium has become a fixture of the visual computing community. Thus, the event has also established itself as a forum for lively international exchange between a wide variety of stakeholders from research, industry and the public.
After a pandemic-related pause, we are looking forward to start the VCT 2025 with Tal Ayellet (Technion), Kwan-Liu Ma (UC Davis), Dieter Schmalstieg (University of Stuttgart) and Anna Vilanova (Eidhoven University). These four outstanding research personalities will demonstrate the future potential of visual computing research. Another program item of the symposium is the award ceremony of the second round of VRVis Visual Computing Award, moderated by Katja Bühler.
