Welcome to IXR 2025
The Third International Workshop on Interactive Extended Reality (IXR'25) will be held in conjunction with the ACM International Conference on Multimedia 2025 (ACM MM 2025) in Dublin, Ireland, October 27-31, 2025.
About IXR 2025
The goal of the workshop is to advance multimedia, networks, and end-user infrastructures to enable the next generation of interactive Extended Reality (XR) applications and services. While XR has significantly enhanced remote communication by fostering presence and interactivity, most applications remain local and individual experiences. IXR addresses key challenges hindering fully immersive remote interactions, including content realism, motion-to-photon latency, and human-centric quality assessment. By exploring novel solutions across the end-to-end transmission chain, it aims to bridge the gap between current XR technologies and truly interconnected, interactive experiences. Researchers from academia and industry are invited to contribute innovative work tackling these critical barriers.
Topics of Interest
We welcome contributions from all research areas on XR, including but not limited to:
- Novel low latency encoding techniques for interactive XR applications;
- Novel networking systems and protocols to enable interactive immersive applications. This includes optimizations ranging from hardware (i.e., millimeter-wave networks or optical wireless), physical and MAC layer up to the network, transport and application layers (such as over the top protocols);
- Significative advances and optimization in 3D modeling pipelines for AR/VR visualization, accessible and inclusive GUI, interactive 3D models;
- Compression and delivery strategies for immersive media contents, such as omnidirectional video, light fields, point clouds, dynamic and time varying meshes;
- Quality of Experience management of interactive immersive media applications;
- Novel rendering techniques to enhance interactivity of XR applications;
- XR applications and experiences in the era of LLMs: how can AI aid creation and delivery of immersive experiences;
- Application of interactive XR to different areas of society, such as health (i.e., virtual reality exposure therapy), industry (Industry 4.0), XR e-learning (according to new global aims).
We invite researchers, industry experts, and innovators to join us for this exciting workshop on the future of XR, a unique opportunity to share insights, collaborate, and drive the field forward. Submit your work and be part of the conversation shaping the future of XR!
