Submissions and Participation

Call for Participation

We welcome research students, academics, and industry practitioners working on human-centered AI support for immersive data sensemaking.

Submission Deadline

We invite extended abstracts for the HCAI4IDS workshop at NordiCHI 2026. The submission and workshop dates are listed below.

All submission deadlines are 23:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth). Dates are preliminary and will be updated if the conference schedule changes.

Call for Contributions

We welcome submissions from research students, academics, and industry practitioners whose work relates to Human-Centered AI for Immersive Data Sensemaking (HCAI4IDS). This call intentionally welcomes a broad range of perspectives to encourage exploration of the diverse ways that people and AI can jointly make sense of data in immersive environments.

Contributions may present completed research, work in progress, emerging ideas, or critical perspectives in forms of applications, theoretical discussions, prototypes, and system designs.. The areas below serve as a starting point rather than a limitation on relevant work.

Example Contributions

  • Design perspectives of HCAI4IDS: How do we design to support joint immersive data sensemaking for single or multiple users and AI agents in shared immersive spaces?
  • Theoretical HCAI guidelines in IDS: How can we develop design guidelines for different levels and forms of AI integration?
  • Multimodal human-AI understanding: How can speech, gesture, gaze, and other multimodal techniques help systems understand users' emotions, intentions, and analytical context?
  • Adaptive AI collaborators: How can AI systems be adapted and personalized to support different stakeholders, user groups, and user experiences?
  • Initiative and agency: When should AI lead, follow, challenge, or step back, and how should control shift between users and systems?
  • Trust calibration: How can immersive systems support calibrated rather than amplified trust, helping users align reliance with actual AI reliability?
  • New HCAI4IDS applications: What new scenarios and application domains can benefit from HCAI-integrated immersive data sensemaking?
  • Evaluation approaches: How should we evaluate HCAI-supported immersive data sensemaking systems and experiences?

Submission Guidelines

All submissions must be written in English and follow the NordiCHI 2026 submission guidelines in general. Submissions should use the ACM Primary Article Template in double-column proceedings format. The LaTeX and Word templates are available from the ACM proceedings template page, and authors may also use the Overleaf ACM Conference Proceedings Primary Article Template preview. For review-mode submissions in Overleaf, set the document class to \documentclass[sigconf,review]{acmart}.

Submissions do not need to be anonymized. Please submit your PDF by email to the workshop organizers at organizers.hcai4ids@gmail.com.

Format and Submission

  • Format: Submissions must be written in English and prepared with the ACM double-column proceedings template.
  • Length: Extended abstracts should be 2-4 pages, excluding references.
  • Content: Submissions may describe research, prototypes, applications, theoretical discussions, system designs, or work in progress relevant to HCAI4IDS.
  • Submission: Submissions must be sent as PDF files to organizers.hcai4ids@gmail.com.

Review Process

  • All submissions will be reviewed by at least two program committee members.
  • Submissions do not need to be anonymized.

Upon Acceptance

  • At least one author of each accepted submission must register for and attend the workshop.
  • Accepted submissions will be presented during the workshop and made available on the workshop website.
  • Accepted authors will receive final camera-ready instructions together with the notification of acceptance.

Camera-ready Submission

Accepted authors will be asked to prepare a final camera-ready version that addresses reviewer feedback and follows the ACM double-column proceedings template.

  • The camera-ready deadline is August 21, 2026.
  • The final abstract should remain within 2-4 pages, excluding references.
  • The camera-ready version must include the complete author list and affiliations.
