ISMAR 2025 Workshop - 3rd Workshop on Gaze and Eye Movement in Interaction in XR (GEMINI)

Where we look reflects our information needs and guides our movements and actions. As gaze is so central to our interactions, it has been studied for human-computer interaction (HCI) for as long as we have had modern computer interfaces. 

The 3rd Workshop on Gaze and Eye Movement in Interaction in XR (GEMINI) aims to reflect on the research agenda for gaze-based interaction in extended reality (XR). This is especially important due to the growing integration of eye-tracking technology in modern headsets, which presents significant research opportunities. Researchers and practitioners are invited to contribute and discuss their original research, opinions, and work-in-progress that explore the intricacies of gaze in XR. 

This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from different domains to discuss gaze-based research, such as 3D user interfaces, applications, and gaze analysis in XR, and to reflect on the current state and future directions of gaze-based interaction in XR. 

Key topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:

• Gaze-Based Interaction Design for XR

• Gaze Analysis in Virtual and Augmented Reality

• Multimodal Integration of Gaze and Body Movements in XR

• Gaze-Based Navigation and Manipulation in AR and VR

• Applications of Gaze in Extended Reality

• Accessibility and Inclusivity in Gaze-Based XR Interfaces

• Eye-Tracking in XR HCI Studies

• Challenges and Future Directions in Gaze Interaction and XR

We invite authors to submit research, replication, position, and work-in-progress papers.
