class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The ACM International Conference on Interactive Media Experiences (IMX) focuses on challenges and innovations across diverse forms of media engagement and experience. The aim is to provoke and promote discussion and the sharing of exciting ideas amongst researchers, industry practitioners and the academic community in all forms of media: VR, AR, MR, XR, 360\u00b0, live-streaming, online media content, authoring and production, TV as well as multimodal content. IMX 2026 will be held in Athlone, Ireland, from June 9 to 11, 2026. The theme of the conference is <em>towards interactive media experiences that are empathic, multimodal, co-created and accessible<\/em>.<\/p><p>We encourage researchers, students and practitioners to submit Work-in-Progress (WiP) papers based on their recent viewpoints, new discoveries, and early-stage design and development in disciplines that are in line with the areas of interest of ACM IMX. The WiP track is intended for thought-provoking and out of the box ideas, possibly with early proofs of concept or prototypes, as well as position papers. The WiP session is geared towards early career researchers, but also caters to seasoned scholars for the presentation of unfinished projects. The WiP track thus provides a unique opportunity for exchanging brave new ideas, for receiving feedback on projects currently in progress and for fostering collaborations. We thus encourage submissions that are not merely a report of work done but an input for discussing with fellow researchers at the conference.<\/p><p>Accepted submissions will be presented as a (1-minute) video presentation and a physical poster at the conference. Authors of accepted WiP papers are also invited to bring a demo. The WiP posters will be presented as part of the conference. The accepted WiP papers will be included in conference proceedings (indexed in the ACM Digital Library).<\/p><section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c8e3d22 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c8e3d22\" data-element_type=\"section\"><div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\"><div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8553aef\" data-id=\"8553aef\" data-element_type=\"column\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\"><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-39e378b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"39e378b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><p><strong>When submitting your work-in-progress paper, you will have to choose one of the following areas to submit your work in:<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0dbf96a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"0dbf96a\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-780c9db elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"780c9db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;expanded&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.
