VINCI '26 includes tracks of Technical Papers, Art Papers, Art and Media Galleries, and a Cultural Computing Special Track. We solicit original, unpublished research papers that focus on all aspects of visual information communication and interaction, either via images, computer graphics, animations, virtual reality, web, artistic projects, or other visual media. Research papers should address cognitive and design aspects, underlying theories, taxonomies, implementation work, tool support, and case studies. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

Topics for Technical Papers:

    Visual communication metaphors
    Cognitive aspects of visual information comprehension
    Empirical studies of novel visual metaphors
