ECCV 2026 Workshop on Agent in World: Living Worlds with Interactive Agents
The AIW ECCV 2026 workshop explores 'living worlds' — dynamic, persistent environments where interactive agents perceive, act, and evolve alongside their surroundings. It brings together researchers from computer vision, robotics, games, HCI, and AI to bridge generative models, embodied intelligence, and human-world interaction.
Paper fit
Contribution paths
A strong submission should clearly identify its contribution and evaluate it appropriately.
Proceedings Track
Original research papers seeking formal workshop publication; limited to 8 pages and must follow official formatting, review, and camera-ready requirements; accepted papers will be published in the official ECCV workshop proceedings.
Published Work Track
Recently published or accepted work relevant to interactive agents, world models, games, simulation, embodied AI, and human-world interaction; submissions considered for talks or posters to broaden discussion and connect communities.
