2026 International Symposium on Extended Reality, Human-Computer Interaction, and Artificial Intelligence
Dates: January 23 to 25, 2026 | Venue: Hefei, China
About XRHCIAI 2026
In recent years, XR devices have achieved continuous breakthroughs in display quality, tracking accuracy, and computing power, driving their evolution from niche tools to lightweight, mass-market consumer electronics. At the same time, advances in artificial intelligence—particularly in generative AI and computer vision—are providing a powerful "intelligent core" for building and interacting with virtual worlds. As the bridge between humans and the digital realm, human-computer interaction is also expanding beyond traditional keyboards, mice, and touchscreens to more intuitive modalities such as gesture control, voice commands, eye tracking, and even brain-computer interfaces.
XRHCIAI 2026 will be held in Hefei, China, from January 23 to 25, 2026. As a workshop of the 6th International Conference on Neural Networks, Information and Communication Engineering (NNICE 2026), it aims to bring together global researchers, engineers, and experts in relevant fields. The workshop is dedicated to providing a high-level platform for sharing scientific advances, exchanging cutting-edge technologies, identifying emerging academic trends, and broadening research perspectives.
