Dates may be adjusted as the workshop schedule is finalized. Camera-ready and workshop timing follow the UbiComp/ISWC 2026 workshop CFP.

July 1, 2026 Submission deadline
July 20, 2026 Notification to authors
July 31, 2026 Camera-ready for ACM DL inclusion
October 11 or 12, 2026 Workshop
Gaze interaction in AR/VR and wearable systems Brain-computer interfaces for adaptive interaction Multimodal fusion of gaze, EEG, physiology, movement, and context Attention, intention, cognitive load, fatigue, and affect Neuroadaptive, accessible, and human-AI interfaces Evaluation, deployment, privacy, ethics, and responsible use

Workshop scope

From where people look to how adaptive XR systems respond.

Eye tracking can reveal visual attention, information needs, task strategies, and interaction intention. Brain signals can complement gaze with cognitive load, affective state, fatigue, and neural intention. GazeBCI-AR/VR brings these communities together around deployable, ethical, and adaptive AR/VR systems.

01

Submission format

Position papers, work-in-progress papers, demos, and provocations. Most submissions are 2-4 pages; provocations may be 1-2 pages.

02

Publication path

Accepted workshop papers are planned for ACM DL and adjunct proceedings inclusion, subject to official conference requirements.

03

What to submit

We welcome systems, studies, datasets, toolkits, methods, critical perspectives, and future research agendas.

Topics of interest

Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

Gaze-based interaction for ubiquitous, wearable, and AR/VR systems
Brain-computer interfaces for interaction and adaptive systems
Multimodal fusion of gaze, EEG, physiological signals, movement, and context
Attention, intention, cognitive load, fatigue, and affect recognition
Gaze-BCI interaction techniques in AR, VR, and MR
