Contributions are organised across themes including AI and social interaction, stroke and neuromotor rehabilitation, autism spectrum disorders, mental health applications of VR, biosensing and neuroadaptive systems, embodiment and immersion, accessibility and inclusion, cognitive assessment and training, and education and pedagogy.
Since its inception in 1996, ICDVRAT has provided a meeting place for researchers, clinicians, practitioners, technology developers, and users interested in the application of virtual reality and associated technologies in disability, rehabilitation, healthcare, and inclusion. The 2026 proceedings continue this tradition by presenting current research and emerging perspectives from an international community working across disciplines and sectors.
