*Call for Papers*
The rapid evolution of Extended Reality (XR) - encompassing Virtual Reality
(VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) - is reshaping how
people interact with digital environments, opening new frontiers in both
research and application. The inaugural edition of SENSE XR: The Feeling of
Virtual, XR, Haptics, and 3D Graphics is dedicated to investigating the
multisensory and affective dimensions of immersive technology, with a
particular focus on haptic feedback, 3D graphics, and videogame
applications.
The workshop’s primary goal is to foster an interdisciplinary dialogue
among researchers, designers, and practitioners, exploring the role of
sensory interfaces in XR. We aim to examine how multimodal interaction,
tactile technologies, and innovative interface design can enhance user
experience, amplify engagement, and redefine human-computer interaction
within immersive environments.
Structured as a platform for both critical reflection and hands-on
experimentation, SENSE XR combines theoretical discourse with live
demonstrations, design exploration, and collaborative activities. Inspired
by the concept of a scientific jam session, the workshop encourages
participants to co-create, prototype, and exchange insights in a
participatory setting that promotes cross-disciplinary collaboration and
the development of new international partnerships.
We welcome original contributions, including position papers, case studies,
design explorations, and theoretical reflections, addressing (but not
limited to) the following topics:
*Topics of interest*
• Haptic technologies and tactile feedback in XR
• Gamification and game design principles in immersive systems
• Innovative interaction techniques and interface design
• Multimodal and sensor-based interaction
• User experience (UX), accessibility, and usability in XR
• Immersive storytelling and narrative design
• Applied XR in healthcare, education, entertainment, and industry
• Evaluation methods and user-centered research
• Ethical implications in multisensory and immersive environments
*Submission guidelines*
We invite *position papers (4–6 standard pages)* that present novel ideas,
preliminary research findings, or design concepts. Submissions must follow
the CEUR-ART format, available at: *https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip
<https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip>*
All papers must be submitted via EasyChair:
*https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=sensexr2025
<https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=sensexr2025>*
Each submission will undergo single-blind peer review by at least two
reviewers based on relevance, originality, and potential to foster
discussion at the workshop.
