The Ninth International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, High Education, Augmented Reality and Technologies (HCIHEART 2026) is a second scientific meeting for discussing the latest advances in the emerging areas of human-computer interaction, high education, augmented / extended reality and new technology.

Many conferences are focussed on only one specific aspects of computer science, programming, education, virtual learning scenarios, serious games, final users, advanced visual interface, ergonomics, new visual technologies, data management, and so forth, and bring together leading experts in a particular field or sometimes on a specific technology.

Last year’s symposiums, workshops, conferences, etc., organized by AInCI and ALAIPO, for instance, included papers, demos, research-in-progress, doctoral consortium, posters, etc., on the topics (see below the alphabetical order). An extensive listing connotes and reflects the requirement and also skill necessary to find intersection zones of the disciplines among the different domains, fields, and specialities; which at the same time potentially boosts and merges the formerly different scientific views. In other words, we focus on the following main and secondary subjects, which do not exclude others of great current or future interest, alphabetically listed in the following way:
