Earlier this month we had the opportunity to showcase our latest neuroadaptive prototype at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026 in Barcelona [1]. As the world’s premier event for mobile and digital innovation, MWC provided an excellent setting to present our vision for human-centered interface adaptations.
During the exhibition, visitors experienced firsthand how SYMBIOTIK leverages multimodal indicators (including eye-tracking and EEG signals) to monitor user workload and dynamically adjust interface behavior. The demonstration, building on our previous presentation at the ECAI 2025 conference [2,3], sparked engaging conversations about the role of neurophysiological data in real-world interface adaptation.
Attendees expressed strong interest in the concept of context-aware adaptation, highlighting both its novelty and potential impact on user experience across domains (e.g. industrial applications, healthcare, and smart environments). Many found the integration of workload estimation particularly insightful, noting that while adapting to new use-cases will require task-specific fine-tuning, our approach shows promising generalizability.
We were really encouraged by the reception by MWC attendees and look forward to continuing development and collaborations that will bring context-aware interaction closer to everyday use.
