Workshop on AI and AR/VR for Exergaming (AIVR4Exergame): co-located with IEEE AIxVR 2024

AI-enabled AR/VR-based exergames have the potential to enable a broader spectrum of users to participate in rehabilitative and fitness activities in immersive social environments that provide continual feedback to improve performance and incentivize continued usage. However, consumer grade AR/VR systems do not yet have the full capabilities needed to realize exergaming at scale. These challenges include, but are not limited to AI feedback algorithms that can run on untethered systems, long-term usage comfort due to system bulkiness, inability to simulate real-world attributes such as weight and resistance, novel exercise routine generation, and multi-user latency.

The workshop will be held in-person (with remote options) at the USC Institute for Creative Technologies (ICT) in Los Angeles, CA, and is co-located with IEEE AIxVR 2024. The main conference will be held from January 17 - 19, 2024. The workshop will be held on January 18 and 19, 2024.
