The 1st Workshop on Deep Human Factors Research for eXtended Reality: From Virtuality to Reality

The 1st international workshop on Deep human factors research for eXtended Reality (DeepHumanXR) aims to bring together researchers interested in developing technologies utilizing human-centered data for creating next-generation user interfaces and user interaction in XR.

This call for workshop papers aims to attract contributions addressing how human-centered techniques can be applied to XR user experiences. Here we consider three interconnected areas of human-centered techniques. First is human internal factors, which includes technologies that utilize physiological signals to facilitate a bio-feedback XR applications. Second is human external factors, which includes technologies that utilize digital human or avatar appearance, natural motion, and biological actuation to facilitate realistic digital human for XR applications. Third is human environmental factors, which includes 3D environment capturing and modelling, MR rendering and composition, and telepresence & remote XR collaboration. Additional topics that fit within the categories are encouraged. Feel free to email the workshop organizers if you have questions about your potential submission.

This workshop will explore the state-of-the-art human-centered (Deep Human) technologies for XR, focusing on holistic understanding of human factors and their integration into XR research and application. 

We will address three interconnected areas: 

1. Human internal factors, including bio-feedback and physiological signal-based XR

2. Human external factors, including digital human or avatar appearance, natural motion, and biological actuation

3. Human environmental factors, involving 3D environment capturing and modeling, MR rendering and composition, and telepresence & remote XR collaboration.
