1st Workshop on Gaze and Eye Movement in Interaction in XR (GEMINI)
Call for Papers
Where we look not only reflects our information needs but also 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 1st 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.
The objective of this workshop is 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:
Gaze-Based Interaction Design for XR
Gaze Analysis in Virtual and Augmented Reality
Multimodal Integration of Gaze and Body Movements in XR
Gaze-Based Navigation and Manipulation in AR and VR
Applications of Gaze in Extended Reality
Accessibility and Inclusivity in Gaze-Based XR Interfaces
Eye-Tracking in XR HCI Studies
Challenges and Future Directions in Gaze Interaction and XR
We invite authors to submit reseach papers, position papers, and work-in-progress.

Submission Information
To submit papers, please use the PCS system. After logging in, navigate to the submissions tab, select "VR" in the dropdown list, followed by "IEEE VR 2024" and then "GEMINI". Click the "Go" button to create a new submission.
Submissions should be anonymous and follow the VGTC conference template.
Papers should not exceed the length of 8 pages (including references and appendix). Shorter papers are welcome.
Each paper requires at least one author to register for the workshop and one day of the IEEE VR conference.
Papers will be submitted for publication in the the IEEE Digital Library.
Review process
Each submission will be reviewed by a minimum of two domain experts. Acceptance does not impose restrictions on 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 are required to submit a revised version, addressing the feedback provided in the reviews.
