Multimodal Coordination and Grounding: Fusing voice with gaze tracking, gestures, and non-verbal cues to improve intent resolution and trust.
Reliability and Hallucination Control: Shared benchmarks and evaluation methods for ASR and LLM error modes in noisy or high-stakes environments like healthcare.
Accessibility for Immersive Content: Standardizing semantic 3D metadata and voice spatial cues for immersive/XR environments.
Pronunciation and Language Representation: Standards for phonetic markup (e.g., SSML in HTML) to ensure consistent pronunciation across assistive technologies.
Privacy, Trust, and Delegation: Frameworks for user consent, privacy-preserving identity assertions, and auditable agent actions taken on behalf of users.

Paper Types: We accept complete papers (validated research), position papers, applications, work-in-progress or arguable scientific opinions.
