About us

AHIMR'26 focuses specifically on AI-mediated interaction in mixed reality: systems where an AI agent, grounded in resource-rational models of human attention, decides how information is transformed, timed, and delivered through wearable MR devices. We invite researchers and practitioners working across sensing, AI systems, HCI, and MR to share work, debate open questions, and help shape a shared research agenda.

Call for Papers Description

Papers should use the IEEE Computer Society VGTC conference format. We invite two types of submissions: Full papers (4–6 pages, presenting completed research) and Short papers (2–3 pages, presenting work-in-progress or position statements). All submissions will undergo a single-blind peer review process by the program committee.
