Call for Artifacts & Demonstrations - HAXD 2026

Call for Artifacts & Demonstrations

Showcase research prototypes, interaction tools, UX frameworks, and AI-driven systems that advance Human-AI Interaction and Experience Design.

Why Showcase Your Artifact at HAXD?

HAXD 2026 is a premier forum bringing together researchers, designers, and practitioners exploring the frontiers of Human-AI Interaction and Experience Design.

  • High-impact visibility: Engage with world-class researchers across HCI, AI, and UX domains.
  • Actionable feedback: Get expert reviews on usability, interaction design, and user experience.
  • Bridge research & practice: Share tools, datasets, and solutions for reproducibility and adoption.
  • Grow collaborations: Meet potential co-authors, mentors, and partners across academia and industry.

What Makes a Strong Artifact/Demo?

  • Clear problem framing & rigorous UX methodology
  • Novel interaction paradigms or AI integration approaches
  • Ethical considerations, accessibility, and inclusivity
  • Compelling visuals: user studies, live demos, video walkthroughs
We welcome early/late-breaking results, negative results with analysis, UX tools, AI prototypes, and deployed systems.
