Submission Deadline (August 27, 2023) is closed.

Posters and Demos

Posters and Demonstrations at India HCI 2023 will showcase your novel implementations, interaction designs, concepts, techniques, devices, or systems to a wider audience at the conference and provide opportunities to interact with each other. We welcome posters, demonstrations & interactivity prototypes from students and researchers in all stages of their careers.

Topics of relevance include but are not limited to:

Poster and demo submissions are encouraged that explore recent research works, strongly relevant results of work in progress, or successful systems and applications, in all areas related to HCI. Researchers must clearly describe the relevance of the research work to the HCI community, its rationale, and its potential in the submission. Demos are expected to be brief and robust enough to be shown repeatedly for effective interaction.

You are encouraged to submit interesting:

• Functional prototypes of devices or systems
• Games, innovative user experiences 
• Mobile and wearable applications and services
• Toolkits and prototyping techniques for interfaces
• Interactive art/design and immersive media technologies

All papers should be submitted electronically to India HCI Electronic Submission site through Microsoft CMT by August 27, 2023.

Reviewing and Selection Process

Submission interests to posters and demos will go through a rigorous curation process, and selections will be based on originality, significance, and validity. For accepted posters or demonstrations, the chairs will provide details and recommendations for presentation format and logistical arrangement. Accepted demonstrations will get early access to the venue and technical setup before the conference.

• Posters/Demos are juried by the India HCI demo chairs, and there is no rebuttal phase.
• Due to the nature of the juried process, authors will not receive review feedback and will only be informed about the decision.

Anonymity     

Poster /Demo submissions are not anonymous. Author names and institutions will be visible to the reviewing committee throughout the submission process.

Novelty of work

Re-submission of posters/demos previously shown at other venues is allowed.

Publication

• In case the extended abstract is accepted for publication, authors will be communicated through email.
• Non-archival ideas presented as an India HCI 2023 demo/ poster can be resubmitted as an extended full paper in subsequent years.

Submission for Authors of Accepted Papers

Accepted papers that include interactive experiences are granted a place in the demo session by default. We highly encourage all authors of demo-able papers to make use of this opportunity to showcase their work and connect with the attendees. For full paper authors, we provide a more light-weight demo submission process: to indicate that the accepted paper will be accompanied by a demo, authors will submit the presentation plan(s), demo video, and the submission number of the paper.
