Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the workshop “SHAPEXR: Shaping Human-AI-Powered Experiences in XR” hosted at the 30th Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026), which will take place on March 23, 2026 in Paphos, Cyprus.
All papers will undergo a single-blind peer review (i.e. author names and affiliations should be listed). If accepted, at least one of the authors must attend the workshop to present the work.
Please see the CfP below for details and forward it to colleagues who might be interested in contributing to this workshop. Visit the conference website for further and updated information https://shapexr.icar.cnr.it/.
If you have any questions or need any clarifications, don't hesitate to get in touch with us. We'd be more than happy to assist you in any way we can.
We look forward to receiving your valuable submissions and meeting you at the SHAPEXR Workshop.
Best wishes,
Giuseppe Caggianese, Marta Mondellini, Nicola Capece, Mario Covarrubias, and Gilda Manfredi.

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.

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.
IMPORTANT DATES
------------------------
Full Paper Submission Deadline: December 19, 2025
Full Paper Acceptance Notification: February 2, 2026
Final Paper Submission Deadline: February 16, 2026
SUBMISSION AND DECISIONS
