2025 Greater Bay Area Forum on Embodied Intelligence:
Optical Advances in HCI and VR

Welcome to EI-OAHV 2025

The 2025 Greater Bay Area Forum on Embodied Intelligence: Optical Advances in HCI and VR (EI-OAHV 2025) will be held from December 12–14, 2025, in Zhuhai, Guangdong, China. The forum is hosted by the Macao Technology and Cultural Exchange Association and the Zhuhai Computer Federation, bringing together researchers, engineers, and industry experts to explore emerging developments at the intersection of optical engineering, intelligent systems, and immersive technologies.

This conference focuses on the engineering and application aspects of optical and intelligent systems in Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) and Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR). Topics include optical sensing and imaging, AI-driven tracking and perception, computational and adaptive optics, wearable and near-eye devices, system calibration and 3D reconstruction, and cross-modal interaction technologies for intelligent and immersive experiences.

By fostering collaboration among experts in optics, intelligent systems, computer vision, and engineering design, the 2025 Greater Bay Area Forum aims to promote transdisciplinary innovation and advance next-generation interaction technologies that enhance how humans perceive, interact, and engage with virtual and augmented environments in the era of embodied intelligence.
