| Main Conference | IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR) |
The 4th workshop on Universal Augmented Interaction (UNAI) will be held as part of ISMAR 2025 (the A* leading conference on mixed and augmented reality). The previous edition of our workshop has been successfully held at ISMAR2023, ISMAR 2022 and ISMAR 2021. Please see the UNAI workshop website for more detail. UNAI 2025 will be held in face-to-face format, but motivated exceptions (online presentations) might be possible.
This year UNAI’s motto is going to be “Accessible and Neurosecure Augmented Reality”. The UNAI workshop will bring in original research, review and position papers, as well as practical developments dedicated to various types of augmented interaction, including AI-enhanced interfaces and generated content, neural technologies, etc.
The focus is on making today’s VR/AR safe and universally applicable, usable and accessible for all kinds of users, including non-technologically advanced ones, such as elder people, and in all contexts: at home and at work, in medicine/healthcare and in industry, as momentary entertainment and as everyday job. As with previous editions of our workshop, the scope involves human factors aspects and social implications, rather than technological nuances.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must follow the ISMAR guidelines for conference papers. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Research, review or position papers: 4-6 pages excluding references
- Demo / practical papers: 2-4 pages excluding references, plus a video of up to 5 minutes.
