Dear all,

The deadline to submit a paper to the Advanced Visual Interfaces for Cultural Heritage Workshop is approaching!

This year's focus: Hybrid Reasoning Methods behind Interactive Cultural Heritage Applications

As AI transforms how we interact with cultural content, we're especially interested in submissions exploring: neurosymbolic AI techniques, composite architectures and, in general, hybrid AI approaches to visual interfaces for cultural heritage. Papers dealing with all traditional AVI-CH topics (see below) are, of course, welcome!


IMPORTANT DATES

Submission deadline (strict): March 29th, 2026
Notification to authors: April 10th, 2026
Workshop date: June 8th/9th, 2026

SUBMISSION

Submit via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/my2/conference?conf=avich2026

Submission types may be long research papers – reporting on complete research (8 pages), short papers reporting on work in progress (4 pages), or position papers presenting novel ideas (2-4 pages). Especially encouraged are late-breaking ideas and results related to studies presented at the main AVI conference.
Accepted papers will be published in a dedicated CEUR-WS volume. Hence, all submissions must be formatted according to the CEUR format: https://ceur-ws.org/HOWTOSUBMIT.htmlAs an example, please see: https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1621

Proceedings will be published with CEUR Workshop, as in previous editions. Selected papers may be invited for extended versions in a Special Issue of the ACM Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage.


TOPICS

Any work that is relevant to the AVI 2026 general list of topics that is being applied in cultural heritage is relevant to the workshop. Specific topics of interest, when applied to cultural heritage, are:
- Adaptive and Context-Aware Interfaces
- Personalized User Interfaces
- Information Visualization
- Interface Metaphors
- Interfaces for e-Culture and e-Tourism
- Mobile Interaction
- Multimodal Interfaces (Voice-based interaction, Brain Computer Interaction, etc.)
- Augmented reality
- (Multi) Sensory Interfaces
- (Multi) Touch Interaction
- Natural Interaction (gestural and touchless interaction, interaction with IoT, etc)
- User Interfaces for the Internet of Things
- Virtual Reality
- Head-Mounted Displays
- Conversational Interfaces
- Human-Robot Interaction
- GenAI application in AVI-CH
- Hybrid Reasoning Methods behind Interactive Cultural Heritage Applications
- AVI for CH in the era of post-COVID-19 (virtual tours, remote attendance, etc)

We look forward to see you in Venice during the AVI conference!
