The paper submissions are still open up to a deadline on this Friday, July 20. However, I was told that post-deadline submissions are still welcomed. The submissions and participants can be from all related fields, including microoptics technology & system design, projection systems, computational optics/photography, light field acquisition and distance measurement/depth cameras.

Thanks to AO for sending me the info!
