Welcome to ICAD

ICAD is a forum for presenting research on the use of sound to display data, monitor systems, and provide enhanced user interfaces for computers and virtual reality systems. It is unique in its singular focus on auditory displays and the array of perception, technology, and application areas that this encompasses.

The 31st ICAD 2026 Conference (https://icad2026.icad.org) will take place in a distributed format across three tightly connected hubs on July 28-31, 2026.

The 30th ICAD 2025 Conference (https://icad2025.icad.org/) was held together with Audio Mostly 2025 (https://audiomostly.com), as AM.ICAD (https://amicad2025.dei.uc.pt/), in early July 2025 in Coimbra, Portugal.
