About

The MICAI 2026 Demo Showcase Committee invites researchers, faculty members, graduate and undergraduate students, innovators, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals to submit prototypes for presentation and evaluation during the conference.

This innovation showcase aims to promote the dissemination of emerging technologies, scientific developments, educational innovations, and applied research outcomes through the exhibition of functional prototypes, proof-of-concept systems, experimental platforms, and demonstrators. The initiative seeks to foster interdisciplinary collaboration while providing participants with valuable feedback regarding the usability, functionality, and potential impact of their developments. 

Submissions may address, but are not limited to, the following areas:

  • Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning 
  • Educational Technology and Learning Analytics 
  • Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality 
  • Robotics and Intelligent Systems 
  • Healthcare Technologies 
  • Internet of Things (IoT) 
  • Data Science and Analytics 
  • Sustainable Technologies 
  • Smart Cities and Industry 4.0 
  • Human–Computer Interaction 
  • Digital Transformation 
  • Social Innovation and Technology 
  • Engineering and Applied Sciences 
  • Business Intelligence and Decision Support Systems
Prototype Presentation Format

Accepted participants will be invited to present a working prototype, demonstrator, or proof of concept during the conference exhibition sessions.

Presentations should clearly communicate:

  • The problem or need being addressed
  • Scientific and technological foundations
  • System architecture or design methodology
  • Prototype functionality
  • Potential applications and expected impact
  • Current stage of development
  • Future work and scalability considerations


Structured User Interaction Evaluation:

As a distinctive feature of this conference, accepted prototypes will participate in a formal user interaction evaluation process conducted in collaboration with a Mexican university. During the event, students, faculty members, researchers, and invited users from the partner institution will interact with the prototypes following a standardized evaluation protocol designed by the Innovation Showcase Committee.

The evaluation will focus on dimensions such as: usability; user experience (UX); functionality; accessibility; innovation; perceived usefulness; technical robustness; and educational, scientific, or social impact. 

Participants will receive a summary report containing aggregated evaluation results and recommendations for improvement, providing valuable evidence to support future development, research publications, technology transfer activities, or commercialization efforts.
