Workshop on Systems and Architectures for Neural Rendering, AR/VR, and Visual Computing.

Call for Papers

Recent advances in neural rendering and embodied visual intelligence are reshaping AR/VR/XR systems, enabling immersive, interactive, and intelligent experiences across virtual and physical environments. This workshop invites original research contributions that span algorithms, systems, and architectures for neural rendering and AR/VR/XR computing.

Important Dates

  • Submission Deadline: February 15, 2026 (Anywhere on Earth)

  • Author Notification: March 8, 2026

Topics of Interest

We invite submissions on topics including, but not limited to:

  • Neural rendering techniques, including Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF), Gaussian Splatting, and learned scene representations.
  • Systems and architectures for AR/VR/XR computing platforms.
  • Low-latency, low-power pipelines for visual sensing, rendering, and display.
  • Hardware acceleration for visual, perception-driven, and neural workloads.
  • Sensor fusion and real-time 3D reconstruction from multimodal inputs.
  • Distributed, edge, and edge–cloud systems for scalable visual processing.
  • Simulation frameworks, benchmarks, and datasets for neural rendering and AR/VR/XR evaluation.
  • Applications in robotics, telepresence, and embodied AI, including interactive and collaborative environments.

Submission Guidelines

  • Papers must be no more than 4 pages, following the ACM format.

  • Authors should use the sigplan proceedings template from the ACM acmart LaTeX class, available on the official ACM website: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template.

  • Submissions must be anonymous and should not include any author identifying information.

  • Both unpublished and previously published works, as well as works in progress, are welcome.
