The 1st Workshop on Intelligent XR: Harnessing AI for Next-Generation XR User Experiences (iXR) aims to bring together researchers interested in exploring how emerging approaches to Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be leveraged to enhance user interfaces and user interaction in XR. This workshop will create a space where academic, government, and industry researchers can discuss their experiences and visions to continue growing the impact of AI in XR. Through a combination of position papers, in-person demonstrations, and a roundtable discussion, we aim to reach a more complete understanding of the AI+XR space and establish priorities for future research.
The workshop will be hosted at the IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR) 2024 in Seattle, Washington, USA.
Discuss the challenges and benefits of using AI in XR with a focus on novel user interfaces, user interactions and overall user experience.
Raise community awareness about the opportunities for research and real-world impact.
Present existing systems and approaches through hands-on demonstrations.
Identify gaps and opportunities in the research as well as areas that the community should prioritize in future gatherings.

David Lindlbauer is an Assistant Professor in the Human Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. His research focuses on understanding how humans perceive and interact with digital information, and to build technology that goes beyond the flat displays to advance our capabilities when interacting with the virtual world. To achieve this, he creates and studies enabling technologies and computational approaches that control when, where and how virtual content is displayed to increase the usability of Mixed Reality interfaces.
The workshop is targeted as a full day workshop held 25 October 2024 @ IEEE ISMAR in Seattle. It will be comprised of a combination of (1) paper presentations, (2) keynote talk, (3) demonstrations, and (4) roundtable discussions/brainstorming. Paper presentations will be 10 minutes with 5 minutes allocated for questions.
