Lorenzo Stacchio
Dear colleagues,
We are happy to announce XRAG ’26 – The 1st International Workshop on Agentic AI for Extended Reality, co-located with IEEE ISMAR 2026, to be held in Bari, Italy (October 5 or 6, 2026).
We are now accepting paper submissions.
Workshop website: https://xrag-workshop.github.io/
Submission website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=xrag26
====Important dates====

Notification of acceptance: July 17, 2026
Camera-ready deadline: July 31, 2026
About the workshop
XRAG ’26 is a venue for discussing the next generation of agentic XR systems, where AI agents can perceive multimodal and egocentric context, reason over spatial information, assist users, generate content, and support real-world tasks across physical and virtual environments.
The workshop will feature research presentations and interactive discussions to explore challenges, design principles, evaluation methods, and future directions for reliable and human-centered Agentic AI in XR.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Agentic architectures for XR (AR/MR/VR agents, spatial reasoning, scene understanding, embodied and non-embodied agents)
- Egocentric, multimodal, and wearable AI (smart glasses, multimodal sensing, context recognition, situated assistance)
- Human-agent interaction and control (collaboration, shared control, trust, usability, explanations, proactive assistance)
- Memory, personalization, tool use, and creative workflows (adaptive agents, long-term memory, AI-assisted XR authoring, generative content)
- Applications and societal impact (education, healthcare, industry, creativity, privacy, safety, accessibility, and ethics)
Accepted papers will be included in the ISMAR 2026 Adjunct proceedings and IEEE Xplore, subject to the ISMAR workshop publication policy, registration requirements, and camera-ready guidelines. Selected contributions may also be invited for extended versions in high-ranked journal special issues (news coming soon).
