Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the thematic session on
"Shaping the Future of Interaction: Integrating AI, Human Factors, and
Immersive Technologies in HCI" (
https://metroxraine.org/thematic-session-7)
hosted by the 2025 IEEE International Conference on Metrology for eXtended
Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and Neural Engineering (IEEE MetroXRAINE
2025) that will be held on October 22-24, 2025 in Ancona, Italy.
Authors who are interested in submitting their work should prepare an
abstract of 1-2 pages in length by the 15th of March. Alternatively, a
comprehensive graphical abstract can also be submitted. Once the
abstract/graphical abstract has been accepted, authors can proceed to
prepare the full paper.
Additionally, the authors of the paper selected as “Best Paper” at this
thematic session will receive an invitation to submit an extended version
of their work to IEEE Computer Graphics & Applications (
https://www.computer.org/csdl/magazine/cg).
Please see the CfP below for details and forward it to colleagues who might
be interested in contributing to this thematic session. Visit the
conference website for further and updated information
https://metroxraine.org/.
If you have any questions or need any clarifications, don't hesitate to get
in touch with us. We'd be more than happy to assist you in any way we can.
We look forward to receiving your valuable submissions and meeting you at
IEEE MetroXRAINE 2025.
Best wishes,
Marta Mondellini, Nicola Capece, Mario Covarrubias and Giuseppe Caggianese.

THEMATIC SESSION DESCRIPTION
-------------------------
Nowadays the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with modern
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) technologies and eXtended Reality (XR),
offers unprecedented opportunities for innovation. This thematic session
aims to explore how AI while acting as a catalyst, interacts with broader
HCI methods to enhance user experiences, foster engagement, and address
critical Human Factors. The session will examine the synergies between XR,
AI-driven personalization, and adaptive systems, alongside non-AI-based
approaches to ensure inclusivity. By addressing measurement techniques and
methodologies, the session will highlight how HCI researchers and
practitioners can advance the field through rigorous evaluation strategies
that support various applications in different immersive environments
scenarios such as Rehabilitation, Special Education, Cultural Heritage, and
emerging platforms like Metaverse. This dialogue aims to create a roadmap
for designing, implementing, and assessing next-generation HCI systems that
balance technological possibilities with user-centric considerations.
The authors of the paper selected as the “Best Paper” at this session will
receive an invitation to submit an extended version of their work to IEEE
Computer Graphics & Applications (
https://www.computer.org/csdl/magazine/cg
).

IMPORTANT DATES
------------------------
Short Abstract Submission Deadline: March 15, 2025.
Full Paper Submission Deadline: May 15, 2025.
Full Paper Acceptance Notification: June 15, 2025
Final Paper Submission Deadline: July 31, 2025
SUBMISSION AND DECISIONS
------------------------
Authors should prepare an Abstract (1 - 2 pages) that clearly indicates the
originality of the contribution and the relevance of the work. The Abstract
should include the title of the paper, names and affiliations of the
authors, an abstract, keywords, an introduction describing the nature of
the problem, a description of the contribution, the results achieved and
their applicability.
As an alternative to the traditional abstract, it is possible to submit a
Graphical Abstract. Read the paragraph below for further information.
When the first review process has been completed, authors receive a
notification of either acceptance or rejection of the submission. If the
abstract has been accepted, the authors can prepare a full paper.
The format for the full paper is identical to the format for the abstract
except for the number of pages: the full paper has a required minimum
length of five (5) pages and a maximum of six (6) pages.
Full Papers will be reviewed by the Technical Program Committee. All
contributions will be peer-reviewed and acceptance will be based on
quality, originality and relevance. Authors of accepted full papers must
submit the final paper version according to the deadline, register for the
workshop, and attend to present their papers. The maximum length for final
papers is 6 pages.

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS
-----------------------------------
All contributions will be peer-reviewed, and acceptance will be based on
