2025 9th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality (AIVR2025) brings together researchers and scientists, both industrial and academic, developing novel Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality outcomes. Research in Virtual Reality (VR) is concerned with computing technologies that allow humans to see, hear, talk, think, learn, and solve problems in virtual and augmented environments. Research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) addresses technologies that allow computing machines to mimic these same human abilities. Although these two fields evolved separately, they share an interest in human senses, skills, and knowledge production. Thus, bringing them together will enable us to create more natural and realistic virtual worlds and develop better, more effective applications. Ultimately, this will lead to a future in which interaction between man and machine are made naturally in virtual worlds, with use cases and benefits we are only just beginning to imagine. AIVR 2025 will be held in Osaka, Japan during July 11-13, 2025 with focusing AI technologies and virtual reality. Past conferences were held in Nagoya (2018), Singapore (2019), virtual conferences (2020, 2021 and 2022), Kumamoto (2023) and Fukuoka (2024) respectively. This conference in the successful AIVR series provides an ideal opportunity for reflection on developments over the last two decades and to focus on future developments. We look forward to welcoming AIVR2025 in Osaka to provide the international community with a highly interactive and scientifically excellent conference to further the translation of promising AI & VR technologies.
