5th Workshop on Gaze and Eye Movement in Interaction in XR (GEMINI) at ISMAR 2026, Date: TBD, Bari, Italy
Where we look reflects our information needs and guides our movements and actions in the world. As gaze is so central to our interactions, it has been studied for human-computer interaction (HCI) for as long as we have had modern computer interfaces.
The 5th Workshop on Gaze and Eye Movement in Interaction in XR (GEMINI) aims to reflect on the research agenda for gaze-based interaction in extended reality (XR). This is especially important due to the growing integration of eye-tracking technology in modern headsets, which presents significant research opportunities. Researchers and practitioners are invited to contribute and discuss their original research, opinions, and work-in-progress that explore the intricacies of gaze in XR.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from different domains to discuss gaze-based research, such as 3D user interfaces, applications, and gaze analysis in XR, and to reflect on the current state and future directions of gaze-based interaction in XR.
Key topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:

Papers should not exceed 8 pages (including references and appendix). Shorter papers are welcome. The minimum length is 1 page (excluding references).
Authors of accepted papers are expected to give a presentation at the workshop and are encouraged to subsequently give a hands-on demonstration of their research if applicable.
At least one author per accepted must be registered as an AUTHOR to the FULL conference at the rate of full Member/Non-Member registration regardless of whether or not they are a student .
Review process
Review process
Each submission will be peer-reviewed by a minimum of two domain experts. Acceptance does not restrict future publications, allowing authors to present expanded or modified versions of their work as full papers, short papers, or journal articles, provided they incorporate new developments arising from the initially accepted workshop paper.
Review decisions are final. Authors of accepted papers must submit a revised version, addressing the feedback provided in the reviews.
