With this workshop, experts from psychology, computer science, and neuroscience converge to delve deep into the realm of user presence in extended realities (VR/AR/MR). Together, we'll navigate through the latest research and innovative techniques aimed at understanding and measuring presence experience.

This three-day workshop aims to produce a paper report outlining outstanding grand challenges in developing innovative and reliable metrics for evaluating the experience of presence. To this end, the three workshop days will focus on defining the state-of-the-art, discussing and exchanging promising novel measurement techniques and experimental paradigms, and providing a summary of physiological evidence (focusing on EEG data).

With a focus on collaboration and knowledge exchange, this gathering of international experts with a maximum of 15-20 participants offers a unique opportunity to dissect the challenges and opportunities in the field. Join us!
