Call for Papers CASAXR26
Geneva, Switzerland, June 1-3, From Animation to Immersion
For over three decades, the International Conference on Computer Animation and Social Agents (CASA) has been the first and the leading forum for research and innovation in computer animation, virtual humans, and intelligent agents. As the field continues to expand toward immersive and interactive experiences, we are excited to announce the evolution of our name to reflect this broader vision:
CASA-XR: International Conference on Computer Animation, Social Agents, and Extended Reality
The new name CASAXR embraces the growing integration of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) technologies with traditional computer animation and social agent’s research.
The conference CASAXR26 is organized by the University of Geneva, MIRALab, and the Computer Graphics Society (CGS).

• Computer animation and motion technology
• Socially intelligent virtual humans and agents
• Virtual and Augmented reality systems
• Immersive interaction and storytelling
• AI for animation and XR environments
