2nd Workshop on Replication in Extended Reality (WoRXR)

IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR), 2022

Overview

The 2nd workshop on Replication in Extended Reality (WoRXR) aims at bringing together researchers interested in the replication of empirical research as well as algorithmic reproducibility inside and outside of the AR/VR/MR/XR community. Specifically, the workshop will start with introducing important concepts and case studies and then evolve into discussing position papers by participants.


Themes of the Workshop

  • Discuss the replication crisis in empirical science and its implications for experiments in extended reality.

  • Raising community awareness about the issues of replication and reproducibility.

  • Identify ways that the community could respond to the replication crisis.

  • Providing a platform for abstracts dealing with replication and reproducibility in extended reality.

Important Dates:

  • Paper Submission Deadline: August 1st, 2022(AOE) August 8th, 2022

  • Paper Notification: August 8th, 2022 August 15th, 2022

  • Camera-Ready Submission Deadline: August 31st, 2022


We particularly invite researchers to conduct replication studies of their own (or others') previous experiments, with a new set of participants. We anticipate that the current trend towards XR-based studies using, e.g., Quest or HoloLens, will make it easier to re-run existing experiments. One goal of the workshop is to work towards a joint journal submission on lessons learned through the replicated studies.
