This workshop explores how such environments can be designed as tools for assessment and intervention in autistic and other neurodiverse users, moving beyond passive observation toward the systematic quantification of behavior during gameplay. It examines how multimodal gameplay data can characterize attention, engagement, decision-making, and interaction, drawing on signals such as gaze, movement, navigation, object interaction, response timing, task choices, collaboration, and performance. The workshop also considers how behavioral analytics and AI can help translate these signals into interpretable behavioral indicators and potential digital biomarkers. These measures are intended to complement, rather than replace, clinician- and caregiver-reported assessments, and the workshop emphasizes the importance of avoiding deficit-based interpretations. This 90-minute hybrid session features an invited keynote, a showcase of A-Sense projects, research and industry talks, and a structured discussion, and aims to create a community roadmap and foster future collaboration.\n                    <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"program-row\">\n<td class=\"program-time\">11:30 \u2013 12:00 (08:30 \u2013 09:00 GMT)<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"session-label\">Coffee Break<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"program-row\" id=\"tutorial-1\">\n<td class=\"program-time\">12:00 \u2013 13:30 (09:00 \u2013 10:30 GMT)<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"session-label\">Tutorial 1:<\/div>\n<div class=\"session-title\">\n<a class=\"paper-link\" data-slide=\"tutorial1.pptx\" href=\"#\">\n                            When Worlds \u2018Coalide\u2019: Building Sustainable Digital Dioramas and Virtual Worlds with IIIF 3D\n                        <\/a>\n<\/div><p class=\"session-chairs\"><strong>Chair<\/strong>: Ronald Haynes (affiliation not provided)<\/p>\n<p class=\"presenters\">\n<strong>Presenter:<\/strong> Ronald Haynes\n                    <\/p>\n<p class=\"description\">\n                        How do we reduce digital divides and creatively engage more people in immersive worlds? If we deliver material on more platforms, including ones which a majority of people can regularly use, the divide is greatly reduced. WebXR-based environments are expanding to enable more people to enjoy engagement with some XR-based environments and virtual worlds, using any of the billions of devices which can run a modern web browser, including smartphones, tablets and laptops, as well as XR glasses and headsets. WebXR-enabled systems such as VRSpace.org, the Virtual Worlds Museum\u2018s WebXR Exhibit and Arrival.Space, ClassVR\u2019s Mozilla Hubs-powered Eduverse, and HTC\u2019s Viverse demonstrate some of the great growth and potential of a more sustainable approach to broadly accessible virtual environments.

However, progress is uneven across domains: methods that produce visually convincing assets may not preserve geometry or semantics; rich representations may be difficult to transmit and render through the web; standards may lag behind emerging neural content; and interaction techniques must adapt to increasingly dynamic, AI-generated environments. This workshop brings together experts representing complementary perspectives on this transition: 3D standards and interoperability, biomedical applications, indoor architecture and design, cultural heritage, data and visual analytics, and human-centered interaction. The format combines a sequence of short position presentations with a moderated round table based on predefined cross-cutting questions. Rather than surveying technologies in isolation, the workshop adopts an application-first perspective and asks which representations, authoring tools, standards, and interaction paradigms will be needed to make future immersive content useful, trustworthy, interoperable, and sustainable.\n                    <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- =========================\n         TUESDAY - HALL\n    ========================== -->\n<table class=\"web3d-program-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"room-row\">\n<th colspan=\"2\">Hall<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"program-row\">\n<td class=\"program-time\">08:30 \u2013 11:30 (05:30 \u2013 08:30 GMT)<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"session-label\">Registration<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"program-row\">\n<td class=\"program-time\">11:30 \u2013 12:00 (08:30 \u2013 09:00 GMT)<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"session-label\">Coffee Break<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"program-row\">\n<td class=\"program-time\">13:30 \u2013 14:30 (10:30 \u2013 11:30 GMT)<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"session-label\">Lunch<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"program-row\">\n<td class=\"program-time\">16:30 \u2013 17:00 (13:30 \u2013 14:00 GMT)<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"session-label\">Coffee Break<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- =====================================================\n         WEDNESDAY\n    ====================================================== -->\n<h2 class=\"program-day\">Wed, Oct 14th<\/h2>\n<!-- =========================\n         WEDNESDAY - ROOM 01\n    ========================== -->\n<table class=\"web3d-program-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"room-row\">\n<th colspan=\"2\">Room 01<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"program-row\" id=\"session-4\">\n<td class=\"program-time\">08:30 \u2013 10:00 (05:30 \u2013 07:00 GMT)<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"session-label\">Paper Session 4:<\/div>\n<div class=\"session-title\">\n                        AI-Assisted X3D and Web3D Authoring\n                    <\/div><p class=\"session-chairs\"><strong>Chair<\/strong>: Dr. Mahmood Alzubaidi (HBKU)<\/p>\n<ul class=\"paper-list\">\n<li>\n<a class=\"paper-link\" data-slide=\"session4-paper1.pptx\" href=\"#\">\n                                x3d_mcp: A Model Context Protocol Server for AI-Assisted X3D Authoring\n                            <\/a>\n<span class=\"authors\">\n                                Nikhil Narra;

HAnim design principles pay close attention to strict naming and scene-graph structures in order to create validatable interoperable humanoid models. As a tandem capability, the Extensible 3D (X3D) Graphics standard defines networked interoperable interactive animated 3D models that can be composed for anyone on the World Wide Web, also providing multiple implementations that support HAnim model presentation and animation.\n                    <\/p>\n<p class=\"description\">\n                        This tutorial provides an in-depth exploration on creation of the open-source Humanoid Animation X3D Example Archive models demonstrating full anatomical coverage of an interactive animated human skeleton. Careful naming, metadata, scene-graph structure and specification compliance were combined with direct visualization of incremental results to confirm correctness throughout a repeatably consistent (but highly detailed) process. Multiple open-source tools included Sunrize and X_ITE, Castle Model Viewer, and the X3D-Edit authoring tool. Multiple animation techniques are available for HAnim by using validatable key-frame interpolator sets, BVH-style frame sequences in HAnimMotion nodes, and pose snapshots using the new HAnimPose node.\n                    <\/p>\n<p class=\"description\">\n                        The tutorial also includes recent dramatic progress by the open-source RawKee exporter for Maya, which maps the sophisticated capabilities of an industry-leading modeling tool for production of Web-compatible models. Exported models take advantage of advanced Physically Based Rendering (PBR) and advanced texturing capabilities associated with the glTF standard for interoperable presentation as HAnim X3D models.\n                        Looking further ahead, interesting current efforts on future capabilities include cross-technology Avatar use cases from the Metaverse Standards Forum (MSF); addition of apparel, footwear, and wearables via an HAnim Coveroid; motion capture (MOCAP) marker standardization for broader availability of MOCAP streams; and repeatable expressions using the Facial Animation Coding System (FACS).\n                    <\/p>\n<p class=\"description\">\n                        Looking further ahead, interesting current efforts on future capabilities include cross-technology Avatar use cases from the Metaverse Standards Forum (MSF); addition of apparel, footwear, and wearables via an HAnim Coveroid; motion capture (MOCAP) marker standardization for broader availability of MOCAP streams; and repeatable expressions using the Facial Animation Coding System (FACS).\n                    <\/p>\n<p class=\"description\">\n<strong>Agenda outline<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"detail-list\">\n<li>(10 minutes) Context: HAnim and X3D humanoid design using named hierarchies<\/li>\n<li>(20 minutes) Creating HAnim Bones project: modeling for full anatomical correctness<\/li>\n<li>(20 minutes) Creating HAnim WinterAndSpring project: animate actors, music to tell a story<\/li>\n<li>(20 minutes) RawKee Python Edition exporter for Maya to create high-fidelity HAnim models<\/li>\n<li>(20 minutes) Emerging HAnim work in progress, final summaries, additional questions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"program-row\" id=\"hbku-sponsor-talk\">\n<td class=\"program-time\">14:00 \u2013 14:30 (11:00 \u2013 11:30 GMT)<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"session-label\">HBKU Sponsor Talk<\/div><p class=\"session-chairs\"><strong>Chair<\/strong>: Dr. Jens Schneider (HBKU)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"program-row\" id=\"session-5\">\n<td class=\"program-time\">14:30 \u2013 16:00 (11:30 \u2013 13:00 GMT)<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"session-label\">Paper Session 5:<\/div>\n<div class=\"session-title\">\n                        Web3D Systems, Performance and Engineering\n                    <\/div><p class=\"session-chairs\"><strong>Chair<\/strong>: Johannes Behr (Threedy)<\/p>\n<ul class=\"paper-list\">\n<li>\n<a class=\"paper-link\" data-slide=\"session5-paper1.pptx\" href=\"#\">\n                                Explore-and-Scrutinize: A Spatio-Temporal Decoupling Paradigm for Interactive Analysis in Panoramic Video on the Web\n                            <\/a>\n<span class=\"authors\">\n                                Zhang Yanxiang; Yi Qiu\n                            <\/span>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<a class=\"paper-link\" data-slide=\"session5-paper2.pptx\" href=\"#\">\n                                Improve Rendering of Dynamic 3D Meshes in WebVR Environments with QoE-aware Level of Detail Adaptation\n                            <\/a>\n<span class=\"authors\">\n                                Nguyen Thi Quynh Ly; Duc V.

Today, 3D and immersive applications are often isolated within individual platforms, applications, and technology stacks. The Web of Worlds initiative investigates how established Web principles\u2014such as open standards, URLs, linking, and interoperability\u2014can enable users, assets, and experiences to move across spatial worlds.\n                    <\/p>\n<p class=\"description\">\n                        The workshop brings together researchers, developers, standards experts, and industry practitioners to discuss emerging concepts and technologies for an open spatial Web. Through short presentations, demonstrations, and interactive discussion, participants will examine current approaches, identify technical and standardization challenges, and help shape priorities for the continued development of the Web of Worlds ecosystem.\n                    <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"program-row\" id=\"tutorial-2\">\n<td class=\"program-time\">10:00 \u2013 11:30 (07:00 \u2013 08:30 GMT)<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"session-label\">Tutorial 2:<\/div>\n<div class=\"session-title\">\n<a class=\"paper-link\" data-slide=\"tutorial2.pptx\" href=\"#\">\n                            AI-Augmented Panoramic WebXR: Foundation Models and Generative Pipelines for Immersive Indoor Experiences\n                        <\/a>\n<\/div><p class=\"session-chairs\"><strong>Chair<\/strong>: Dr. Marco Agus (HBKU)<\/p>\n<p class=\"presenters\">\n<strong>Presenters:<\/strong>\n                        Marco Agus, Giovanni Pintore and Enrico Gobbetti\n                    <\/p>\n<p class=\"description\">\n                        WebXR provides a standards-based path for delivering immersive applications through the browser, but the creation of interactive, spatially coherent, and lightweight content remains a major bottleneck. At the same time, foundation models and generative AI are changing how 3D and panoramic content can be understood, reconstructed, edited, and authored. This tutorial presents a web-first workflow that connects these two developments. It covers the WebXR runtime and interaction stack; web-native scene representations and delivery; foundation models for depth, segmentation, layout, semantics, and vision&#8211;language understanding; and structure-guided generative methods for scene completion, restyling, object insertion, and novel-view synthesis. A running indoor-tour example shows how 360\u00b0 captures can be transformed into structured assets, enriched through generative editing, optimized for network delivery, and explored on desktop, mobile, and head-mounted devices. The tutorial emphasizes practical integration choices, performance and comfort constraints, hybrid client&#8211;cloud execution, and the limitations of current AI models when spatial consistency and real-time interaction are required.\n                    <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"program-row\">\n<td class=\"program-time\">11:30 \u2013 12:00 (08:30 \u2013 09:00 GMT)<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"session-label\">Coffee Break<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"program-row\" id=\"session-6\">\n<td class=\"program-time\">12:00 \u2013 13:30 (09:00 \u2013 10:30 GMT)<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"session-label\">Paper Session 6:<\/div>\n<div class=\"session-title\">\n                        Standards, Rendering and Spatial Computing\n                    <\/div><p class=\"session-chairs\"><strong>Chair<\/strong>: Dr. Noora Fetais (QU)<\/p>\n<ul class=\"paper-list\">\n<li>\n<a class=\"paper-link\" data-slide=\"session6-paper1.pptx\" href=\"#\">\n                                Decentralized Storage, Distribution and Verifiable Retrieval of X3D Spatial Audio Scenes\n                            <\/a>\n<span class=\"authors\">\n                                Eftychia Lakka; Chrysoula Tzermia;\n                                Don Brutzman; Athanasios G.
