Message from the chairpersons

The organizing committee welcomes you to the 2010 IEEE International Conference on Virtual Environments, Human-Computer Interfaces, and Measurement Systems (IEEE VECIMS 2010), held in Taranto, Italy, on 6–8 September, 2010. This meeting, sponsored by the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society, is the eighth of a successful series that extends its roots back to the 1996 IEEE Workshop on Emerging Technologies for Instrumentation and Measurement, as clear evidence of the continuous and even increasing interest in this research and applications area.
