XR in Games 2025

Workshop Website: XR in Games

Extended Reality (VR, AR and MR) is becoming an important and relevant field in digital entertainment, thanks to the high immersion possibilities achieved through it. These experiences combine visible, acoustic, haptic and senorial senses in such a way that users can truly be moved to an alternative reality. However, there are many challenges and limitations coming from both technological and game design aspects. Cybersickness, space orientation, interaction design, graphical response, tracking, streaming data together with storytelling narratives and collaborative issues are some of the relevant topics that must be investigated and developed in the next few years, in order to increase and popularize the field. This workshop aims to bring researchers and practitioners together to discuss and present these challenges, presenting ongoing solutions, possibilities and strategies to improve the player experience. We intend to discuss innovative implementation techniques that may affect player experiences in XR environments.

Format and duration: Half day Workshop

Type(s) of submissions/contributions that will be solicited: Contributions for the workshop should be in short papers format, using the new SIGCHI Extended Abstracts Format. Contributions should not exceed 4 pages, not including bibliography.
