IEEE AIVR 2024 workshops
Workshops have traditionally been an important and valuable part of IEEE AIxVR, providing the opportunity for more hands-on experiences and the chance to dig deeper into deciated topics of particular interest for the AI & VR/AR communities. This year, IEEE AIxVR features the following workshops:
Workshop AIVR4Exergame: AI and AR/VR for Exergaming
AI-enabled AR/VR-based exergames have the potential to enable a broader spectrum of users to participate in rehabilitative and fitness activities in immersive social environments that provide continual feedback to improve performance and incentivize continued usage. However, consumer grade AR/VR systems do not yet have the full capabilities needed to realize exergaming at scale. These challenges include, but are not limited to AI feedback algorithms that can run on untethered systems, long-term usage comfort due to system bulkiness, inability to simulate real-world attributes such as weight and resistance, novel exercise routine generation, and multi-user latency. The half-day Workshop on AI and AR/VR for Exergaming (AIVR4Exergame 2024) will bring researchers and industry practitioners together to discuss these new emerging research challenges and technologies. The workshop will consist of a keynote, juried paper presentations, a panel discussion, and a research demo session from Delsys/Altec Research (Natick, MA, USA). We invite authors to submit 6-page (plus 1-page for references) research or position papers.

Workshop XRiM: XR technologies in Museums
Museums have always been attractive and unique places where people learn from various exhibits, displays, samples, and special devices. Although recent smartphones, PCs, and game consoles are very powerful, there should be solid differences between experiences with daily equipment and those in museums full of special-purpose devices. Our workshop aims to showcase a wide range of excellent designs, implementations, experimental results, and case studies. We encourage papers that extend the ability of museums to enhance people’s experiences in museums with a range of XR/AR/VR/MR and related technologies.
We also believe in artwork as the core entity of the museum experience, supporting the development of ART that leverages on AI and XR. We therefore encourage submissions of ART papers.

Workshop HIeXR: Healthcare Intelligence and eXtended Reality
As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, there's a growing emphasis on the integration of advanced technological interventions. VR, MR and AR, collectively known as XR, have been instrumental in various healthcare applications, enabling training and planning of interventions as well as remote collaboration. AI, known for data-driven insights, is transforming diagnostics and patient care. Combining these two areas will bring a new era in healthcare, marked by precision, personalization, and better patient experiences.
This workshop aims to:
- Encourage discussions and share new developments in the XR and AI intersection within healthcare.
- Spot emerging research areas and collectively map the future direction for these connected fields.
- Boost the synergy between AI's cognitive abilities and XR's immersive features to imagine next-gen healthcare solutions.
