Everyday AR through AI-in-the-Loop

Abstract

This workshop brings together experts and practitioners from augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) to shape the future of AI-in-the-loop everyday AR experiences. With recent advancements in both AR hardware and AI capabilities, we envision that everyday AR -- always-available and seamlessly integrated into users' daily environments -- is becoming increasingly feasible. This workshop will explore how AI can drive such everyday AR experiences. We discuss a range of topics, including adaptive and context-aware AR, generative AR content creation, always-on AI assistants, AI-driven accessible design, and real-world-oriented AI agents. Our goal is to identify the opportunities and challenges in AI-enabled AR, focusing on creating novel AR experiences that seamlessly blend the digital and physical worlds. Through the workshop, we aim to foster collaboration, inspire future research, and build a community to advance the research field of AI-enhanced AR.
