Aims and Scope

SenseXR 2026 focuses on how immersive and interactive media experiences can support clinical diagnostics, remote rehabilitation, and long-term therapy and recovery.

The workshop brings together researchers, clinicians, and industry practitioners who design or evaluate XR systems for healthcare, with a particular interest in sensor-driven approaches.

We focus on XR experiences that combine interaction with sensing and data, including:

• Motion tracking, inertial sensors, and force or flex sensors
• Electromyography (EMG)
• Heart rate and PPG
• Eye tracking
• Other physiological or behavioral signals

The aims of the workshop are to:

• Map current approaches to XR-based diagnostics and remote rehabilitation
• Link Quality of Experience (QoE) with Quality of Life and clinical outcomes
• Discuss ethical, accessibility, and data challenges in immersive health systems
• Build a community of practice across XR and healthcare
• Identify collaboration and shared evaluation opportunities
