Web3D 2026: AI-Driven Human-Centered WebXR

Web3D 2026 explores how immersive 3D environments delivered and shared through the Web are transforming the future of digital interaction, and how recent advances in AI capabilities, embodied intelligent systems, and multimodal human interfaces are expanding what is possible in XR.

We invite submissions across all sectors in which the 3D Web plays a transformative role, including education, healthcare, e-commerce, cultural heritage, digital tourism, entertainment, media, construction, robotics, urban computing, and emerging industrial metaverse applications. The goal is to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue that shapes the future of interactive Web technologies and the extended multiverse.

Papers & Submission

This is a blind peer-reviewed conference. Authors are invited to submit their papers in English through the conference submission system by June 1, 2026. Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously.

The accepted papers and poster summaries will be published in the Web3D 2026 Conference Proceedings, available in the ACM Digital Library. Works selected for the Best Paper awards will be invited to submit extended versions to the Computers & Graphics journal.

All papers must be original, anonymized, and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.

At least one author must attend the conference in-person to present their work.
