Description	The “Making A Real Connection: Pro-Social Collaborative Play in Extended Realities – Trends, Challenges and Potentials” is a one-day workshop that aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and designers to promote interdisciplinary exchange in the field of human-computer interaction, XR games and collaborative approaches. The workshop will consist of a combination of presentations, group work, and discussion sessions to identify possible trends, potentials, best practices, and challenges, especially with focus on pro-social and cooperative interactions. This workshop will serve as a starting point for mapping the design and research landscape in this area and will offer a discussion about challenges and trends for the future. We hope through this workshop to build a network of researchers interested in collaborative XR games, to encourage continued discussions, and to lay a foundation for future work in this area. It will be held at MUM2023 the 22nd International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Multimedia taking place in Vienna, Austria on December 3th — 6th.
