The 40th International Conference on Computer Animation, Social Agents, and Extended Reality (CASAXR 2027) will be held on June 4-6, 2027, in Xi’an, China.

The conference is organized by Chang’an University, incooperated with Xi’an Jiao Tong University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University. It is supported by the Computer Graphics Society (CGS) , CCF Technical Committee on CAD and Graphics.

CASA (International Conference on Computer Animation and Social Agents) is the oldest international conference in computer animation and social agents in the world. It was founded in Geneva in 1988 under the name of Computer Animation (CA) by the Computer Graphics Society (CGS).

In the last past ten years, CASA was held in Switzerland (2016), Korea (2017), China (2018), France (2019) , UK (2020), Canada (2021), China (2022), Cyprus (2023), China (2024), France (2025), and Switzerland (2026). From 2026, CASA evolved to CASAXR to embraces the growing integration of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) technologies with traditional computer animation and social agents research.

CASAXR 2027 will provide a great opportunity to interact with leading experts, share your own work, and educate yourself through exposure to the research of your peers from around the world.
