We are pleased to remind you about 𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗘𝗫𝗥: 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻-𝗔𝗜-𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗫𝗥, a workshop held in conjunction with 𝗜𝗨𝗜 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, the 30th Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces, taking place on March 23, 2026, in Paphos, Cyprus.
SHAPEXR explores how XR can act as a rich multimodal interface for AI systems, including LLMs and conversational agents. The workshop focuses on designing adaptive, human-centered XR environments that integrate speech, gesture, gaze, and haptics to enable seamless interaction. We invite contributions on topics such as: - Personalization and accessibility in XR; - Cognitive load, trust, and ethics in AI-driven experiences; - Design principles and methodologies for inclusive, adaptive intelligent interfaces; - Applications that enhance human capabilities across various domains, including healthcare, education, and collaborative work. 📅 Submission deadline: January 16, 2026 🔗 More information: https://shapexr.icar.cnr.it/ We look forward to seeing you in Paphos. Sincerely, Giuseppe Caggianese, Marta Mondellini, Nicola Capece, Mario Covarrubias, and Gilda Manfredi ==================================================================================== Call for Papers - Workshop "SHAPEXR: Shaping Human-AI-Powered Experiences in XR" https://shapexr.icar.cnr.it/ 2026 ACM International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026) https://iui.acm.org/2026/ March 23-26, 2026 - Paphos, Cyprus. ==================================================================================== WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION ------------------------- This workshop explores how eXtended Reality (XR) can serve as a multimodal interface for AI systems, including LLMs and conversational agents. It focuses on designing adaptive, human-centered XR environments that incorporate speech, gesture, gaze, and haptics for seamless interaction. Main topics include personalization, accessibility, cognitive load, trust, and ethics in AI-driven XR experiences. Through presentations, discussions, and collaborative sessions, the workshop aims to establish a subcommunity within IUI to develop a roadmap that includes design principles and methodologies for inclusive and adaptive intelligent interfaces, enhancing human capabilities across various domains, such as healthcare, education, and collaborative environments. More information can be found here: https://shapexr.icar.cnr.it/ TOPICS ---------- The list of topics includes (but it is not limited to) the following: - AI-driven real-time personalization of immersive interfaces based on user states, contexts, and goals in XR environments. - Multimodal interaction (speech, gesture, gaze, haptics) with AI agents. - Cognitive load, trust, ethics, and emotional engagement in AI-powered XR. - Accessibility and inclusivity in immersive AI systems. - Evaluation methods for human-centered XR and AI interfaces. - Social and collaborative AI-enhanced XR experiences. - Design principles and methodologies for adaptive intelligent interfaces. - Applications of XR-AI interfaces in healthcare, education, work, or entertainment.
