##Theme##The pace of digital transformation continues to erode the barriers between the physical and virtual worlds. Things,places and people are being mirrored in a parallel virtual world. At the same time, our communications experiencesare moving beyond communications through screens to become immersive experiences, creating a continuum ofhuman-to-human, human-to-things and things-to-things interactions.The COVID-19 pandemic, with its requirements of social distancing, has accelerated this shift towards immersiveexperiences to optimize interactions in business and education as well as fields such as healthcare, engineering,product development, automotive, logistics, retail and entertainment.The ICT industry has two key roles to play in supporting very stringent communications requirements and creating a“networked” infrastructure for supporting ubiquitous services that can be on devices, at the edge of the network, in thecore or in large datacentres. Emerging ICTs are blurring the borders between computing, storing and communicationscapabilities, creating gigantic distributed programmable environments. How can technical standards policies andregulations pave the way to a hyperconnected future? Would such a future be desirable in the first place? How can weensure that this shift is human centred? Is the society ready for this change?##Objective ##Kaleidoscope 2021 calls for original academic papers sharing insight into ongoing projects and research relevant tothe development of persistent virtual realities and customized computer-generated environments, as well as newpossibilities and associated challenges appearing on the horizon. Particularly, this conference encouragessubmissions on technical standards for networks and services required to enable this transformation, includingconsiderations on social and ethical implications.##Audience##Kaleidoscope 2021 targets specialists in the fields of ICT and socio-economic development, including researchers,academics, students, engineers, policymakers, regulators and innovators.##Date and venue##Due to COVID-19, Kaleidoscope 2021 will be held exceptionally online from 6-10 December 2021.Suggested (non-exclusive) list of topics--Track 1:Network infrastructureand architectureenabling ubiquitouscommunications• Design, requirements, architectures and protocols for immersive systems• System architectures for virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixedreality (MR), extended reality (XR), and immersive live experience (ILE)• Future mobile and wireless communications (5G and beyond)• Networking and multimode connectivity• Integration/exchangeability of processing storage and communication• Real-time performance and network latency aspects--Track 2:New spatialapplications andservices• Ubiquitous communications in arts, gaming, leisure, sports, andentertainment• Immersive live experience in business, education, healthcare, commerceand entertainment• Evolution of manufacturing and industrial production systems• Urban planning and ecosystem services--Track 3:Enabling technologies• Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning• Data processing and management (analysis, quality, exchange,interoperability and integration prediction)• Video coding and streaming• Omnidirectional, 360-deg, immersive video, spatial audio• Conversational and speech interfaces• Visualization techniques, display technologies (e.g. head-mounted displays,eyewear, smart watches, projectors)• Touch, tangible and gesture interfaces• Digital twins, spatial computing• Multimodal input and output, localization, spatial registrationand tracking• Quality of experience (QoE) aspects and assessment--Track 4:Security, privacy andtrust, including socioeconomic and ethicalaspects• Security architectures, trust, identity management, privacy preservingmechanisms• The ergonomics of cyberattacks and security threats• Emerging privacy and security threats in cyber spaces• Threat models and attack strategies• Security applications and management• Standards, regulations and policies• Evolution of standardization for the new realities• Ethical and legal issues in the new realities (VR, AR, MT, XR, ILE)• Socio-economic implicationsAdditional informationFor additional information, please visit the conference website: http://itu.int/go/K-2021.
