6th International Conference on Audio for VR & AR and Immersive Games

6th International Conference on Audio for Virtual and Augmented Reality and Immersive Games

https://aes.org/events-calendar/2026-6th-international-conference-on-audio-for-virtual-and-augmented-reality-and-immersive-games/

The AVARIG2026 conference is an initiative stemming from the continuation of the foundational AVAR conference series with a new added focus on Immersive Gaming, resulting in a joint AVAR/Audio for Gaming conference under the new AES TC Immersive Media and Gaming.

For the first time, AVAR, the reference conference in audio for XR, will be in Europe, and we are very proud to be able to host this conference in France. The venue will be split between Sorbonne University Jussieu campus (days 1 and 2) and IRCAM/STMS (days 3and 4), which are separated by a 30min walk in the heart of Paris.

The conference is structured as a mix of single and dual track sessions, providing a forum for these two communities to meet, interact, and find common ground.

Stereo audio will be available for all sessions. Additional technical facilities will be provided for limited sessions to allow for binaural audio and multichannel (video with HOA SN3D/ACN up to 7th order) presentations, depending on scheduling and availability. There will be the following options at time of submission:

• Category 1 & 2 Oral optional binaural or HOA content in presentation

• Category 2 Poster optional binaural or HOA demo media content (5min max)

• Category 2 Poster optional demonstration space (own HMD, headphone, etc.)
