Call for Participation

The rapid evolution of augmented and mixed reality (AR/MR) technologies, coupled with the integration of multimedia experiences, is reshaping how users interact with their environments. While traditional handheld displays like smartphones and tablets have democratized access to AR/MR applications, new technologies such as Apple's Vision Pro, smart wearables, and tactile interfaces are setting the stage for enhanced multimodal interactions. These advancements come with their own set of challenges, including developing intuitive interaction techniques, creating seamless cross-device user experiences, and ensuring the effective integration of multimedia elements like sound, visuals, and haptics. Addressing these challenges, following our successful first workshop on “Experience 2.0 and Beyond” at EICS 2024, this second version of our workshop “Experience 2.0 and Beyond” provides a platform for researchers, developers, and practitioners to explore innovative solutions for engineering AR/MR applications that span devices and modalities from visuals to multimedia, fostering a future where immersive, interactive, and multimedia experiences are accessible to all.

Important Dates

Submission Guidelines

The position papers (up to 5 pages) must be written in English and submitted in PDF format to the organizers in EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=xp22025

The submissions will be reviewed based on workshop relevance, academic rigor, creativity, innovation, and applicability. The extended version of workshop papers will be published in a Springer LNCS book series proceeding. We will also produce a special issue of a journal that addresses the workshop topic in which selected accepted position papers will be invited to publish their extended work. 

At least one author per accepted position paper is required to register for the workshop.

Expected Outcomes

The workshop will be held in synchronous mode. Each accepted paper will feature a short presentation. At the workshop the positions will be grouped into discussion themes, that are intended to be interactively explored, resulting in research agendas and a draft vision for future joined elaboration. The workshop attendees will also be encouraged to showcase their work during the main conference Poster session.
