Dear Colleagues,
This is a kind reminder that this is the final week to submit your contribution to the workshop “SHIFT: Shaping Human-centered Interaction for Future Technologies”, which will be held as part of IEEE MetroXRAINE 2026, taking place on 20–23 October 2026 in Chemnitz, Germany.
Please note that the March 13 deadline concerns the submission of a 1–2 page Abstract or a Graphical Abstract outlining the idea you intend to present. You will then have time to finalize your full contribution by the May 15 deadline.
You can find the full Call for Papers below. We also encourage you to share this announcement with colleagues who may be interested. For the latest updates and submission instructions, please visit: https://metroxraine.org/shift
If you have any questions or require further clarification, please feel free to contact the workshop organizers; we will be happy to assist.
We look forward to receiving your submissions and to welcoming you to the SHIFT Workshop in Chemnitz.
We apologize if you have received this CFP more than once.
Best regards,
Marta Mondellini, Mario Covarrubias, Philipp Klimant, and Giuseppe Caggianese

Call for Papers - Workshop "SHIFT: Shaping Human-centered Interaction for Future Technologies" https://metroxraine.org/shift
2026 IEEE MetroXRAINE 2025 International Conference on Metrology for eXtended Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and Neural Engineering https://metroxraine.org/
October 20-23, 2026 in Chemnitz, Germany.
====================================================================================
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
-------------------------
Nowadays, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with modern Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) technologies and eXtended Reality (XR) offers unprecedented opportunities for innovation. This thematic session aims to explore how AI while acting as a catalyst, interacts with broader HCI methods to enhance user experiences, foster engagement, and address critical Human Factors. The session will examine the synergies between XR, AI-driven personalization, and adaptive systems, alongside non-AI-based approaches to ensure inclusivity. By addressing measurement techniques and methodologies, the session will highlight how HCI researchers and practitioners can advance the field through rigorous evaluation strategies that support various applications in different immersive environment scenarios, such as Rehabilitation, Special Education, Cultural Heritage, and emerging platforms like the Metaverse. This dialogue aims to create a roadmap for designing, implementing, and assessing next-generation HCI systems that balance technological possibilities with user-centric considerations.

TOPICS
----------
- AI-supported personalization in human-computer interaction.
- Measurement of user experience (UX) in immersive environments and AI-supported systems.
- Evaluation of cognitive load in augmented HCI systems.
- Human factors in immersive technologies: measurement approaches.
- Human factors in the design of AI-supported interfaces.
- Evaluation framework for usability assessment.
- Real-time feedback systems in human-AI interaction.
- Emotional, cognitive, and behavioral responses in immersive human-computer interaction.
- Measurement of trust, ethics, and acceptance in AI-supported interaction.
- Multimodal interaction and performance measurement.
- Design for accessibility in next-generation HCI systems.
- Data-driven insights for HCI design and optimization.
- Metrics and validation protocols in AI-assisted HCI.
- Adaptive Interfaces in XR.
- Social Interactions and Collaboration in AI-enhanced XR.
IMPORTANT DATES
------------------------
Short Abstract Submission Deadline: March 13, 2026
Abstract Acceptance Notification: April 17, 2026
Full Paper Submission Deadline: May 15, 2026
Full Paper Acceptance Notification: June 30, 2026
Final Paper Submission Deadline: July 31, 2026
SUBMISSION AND DECISIONS
------------------------
Authors should prepare an Abstract (1 - 2 pages) that clearly indicates the originality of the contribution and the relevance of the work. The Abstract should include the title of the paper, names and affiliations of the authors, an abstract, keywords, an introduction describing the nature of the problem, a description of the contribution, the results achieved and their applicability.
As an alternative to the traditional abstract, it is possible to submit a Graphical Abstract.
When the first review process has been completed, authors receive a notification of either acceptance or rejection of the submission. If the abstract has been accepted, the authors can prepare a full paper.
The format for the full paper is identical to the format for the abstract except for the number of pages: the full paper has a required minimum length of five (5) pages and a maximum of six (6) pages.
Full Papers will be reviewed by the Technical Program Committee. All contributions will be peer-reviewed and acceptance will be based on quality, originality and relevance. Authors of accepted full papers must submit the final paper version according to the deadline, register for the workshop, and attend to present their papers. The maximum length for final papers is 6 pages.
More information will be shared soon on the conference website: https://metroxraine.org.
CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS
-----------------------------------
All contributions will be peer-reviewed, and acceptance will be based on quality, originality, and relevance. Accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
