# Description
A surge in the popularity of VR/AR technology has given rise to a plethora of applications to captivate new users; however, further advances in VR/AR realism will require the integration of novel input modalities and multiple realistic sensations. This workshop will provide a platform to facilitate collaborations among researchers in UbiComp and VR/AR fields in exploring novel approaches to making this vision a reality.
#Submission Guidelines
Submissions should be made electronically through the Online Submission System (EasyChair): https://
All papers need to be anonymized. Please submit papers with a maximum length of 5 pages (4-page + 1 references) in ACM sigconf template with 2 columns. ACM Template can be found here: https://www.acm.org/
At least one author of each accepted paper needs to register for the conference and the workshop itself. During the workshop, each paper will be presented briefly by one of the authors. The accepted papers will be published in the UbiComp/ISWC Adjunct Proceedings, which will be included in the ACM Digital Library as part of the UbiComp conference supplemental proceedings.
# Best Paper Award
The Best Paper Award is given to the best paper presented at the MIMSVAI 2026 workshop, to acknowledge and encourage excellence in research. The awardee will be presented with a certificate at the workshop.
