Posters & Demos

Call for Posters

Poster presentation sessions help researchers receive feedback on their work that has not yet been published. We invite poster submissions, which explore recently completed research works, strongly relevant results of work in progress, or successful systems and applications, in all areas related to HCI. The relevance of the research work to the HCI community, the rationale for the research work and its potential must be clearly described in the submission.

There will be online presentation tracks where authors can present a brief summary of their work to all conference attendees. For a poster to be presented, at least one author per accepted poster is required to register for the conference.

Call for Demos

We invite demo submissions from academia, industry and all communities connected to HCI. Submissions are encouraged from any discipline related to HCI, games, interactive art/design and immersive media technologies. The interactive demo presentations are expected to provoke discussions on emerging technologies and research areas. The relevance of the demo project to the HCI community, the rationale for the demo presentation and the problems it attempts to address must be clearly outlined in the submission. Your submission should clearly describe the novelty and distinguishing characteristics of your work.
