The IEEE ISMAR 2026 organizing committee invites proposals for tutorials to
be held in conjunction with the ISMAR conference. The tutorials will be
scheduled on October 5th (Monday) and October 6th (Tuesday) and can be
conducted in person, online, or in hybrid mode, in alignment with the ISMAR
conference.

In line with the overall conference format, we strongly encourage and will
prioritize workshop proposals that focus on on-site or hybrid
participation. At least one tutorial organizer must be physically present
on-site to ensure smooth execution and coordination.

The purpose of the tutorials is to expand the knowledge in the fields of
Augmented, Mixed, and/or Virtual Reality and to foster the next generation
of researchers, developers, and artists. Proposals will be evaluated on
their relevance to the conference topics, suitability for presentation in a
tutorial format, and the instructors’ qualifications. We will strive for a
balance of topics in the tutorial program and also consider the potential
for interest and attendance.

The scope of the proposals should be consistent with the ISMAR 2026 Topics
of Interest.
