General Information

The ACM ISS 2024 poster program offers an engaging venue to present and discuss new and developing research. Posters enable researchers to get feedback on early-stage work and work-in-progress, establish potential collaborations, and discuss burning issues in ISS with the larger community in an informal manner during the interactive poster session.

A poster will enable you to:

• Present your poster in person at the conference. There will also be a Best Poster Award at the conference.
• Publish an extended abstract of the poster in the electronic conference proceedings in the ACM Digital Library.
• Publish an optional video of up to 3 minutes long in the electronic conference proceedings in the ACM Digital Library.

Work that is best suited for a poster submission includes, but is not limited to, preliminary results, thought-provoking and current topics, novel experiences and/or prototypes that have not been fully tested but show great promise, summaries of small-scale studies, and design-led explorations of interactive tabletops, surfaces and spaces.

Topic Areas

ISS 2024 welcomes Poster Submissions about a range of topics relating to interactive surfaces and spaces, as well as novel interface technologies, that include (but not limited to):

• Large display interfaces and multi-display environments
• Gesture-based interfaces (i.e., hands, fingers, body)
• Multi-modal interfaces
• Tangible user interfaces
• Novel interaction techniques and paradigms
• Interaction with mobile and body-worn devices
• Different materials and form factors (e.g., curved, sand, water, and so on)
• Interactive 3D spaces (i.e., Mixed Reality and Augmented Reality, mid-air displays, and so on)
• Large scale and outdoor interactive spaces (e.g., projected interfaces, drones, and so on)
• Interactive architecture
• Beyond traditional surfaces (i.e., shape-changing and actuated surfaces, body-related, and so on)
• Interactive information visualization/data presentation
• Software engineering methods and frameworks
• Social aspects and protocols related to interacting with surfaces and spaces
• Interactive surfaces and spaces that support group work or social interaction
• Hardware, including sensing and input technologies with novel capabilities, and results from maker communities
• Human-centered design and methodologies related to interactive surfaces and spaces
• Empirical evaluations of novel interactive surfaces and/or spaces designs
• Evaluations of deployed interactive surfaces and/or spaces in specific domains (e.g., public spaces, education, science, business, entertainment, health, art, homes, and so on)

Preparing Your Poster Submission

The reviewing of extended abstracts will be single-blind, i.e., your submission should not be anonymized but reviewers will remain anonymous to you.

All poster submissions must include:

• An extended abstract with a maximum of 6 pages in the ACM Master Article Submission Template.
• A poster. Upon acceptance, changes can be made to the poster design in the camera-ready submission if desired.

It is optional to include:

• A video of up to 3 minutes long, and at most 100 MB, in size that presents the research displayed in the poster.

Your extended abstract, poster design, and optional video should be submitted by August 15 to the Precision Conference System.

By submitting your extended abstract to an ACM Publication, you are acknowledging that you and your co-authors are subject to all ACM Publications Policies, including ACM’s new Publications Policy on Research Involving Human Participants and Subjects. Alleged violations of this policy or any ACM Publications Policy will be investigated by ACM and may result in a full retraction of your extended abstract, in addition to other potential penalties, as per ACM Publications Policy.

1. Extended Abstract

Your extended abstract should not be longer than 6 pages. It must include all figures and references and use the ACM Master Article Submission Templates. The extended abstract should include a concise description of your idea, a description of the relevance of your work to the ISS conference community and the broader ISS community, your results or findings, supporting imagery and figures, and a discussion of the implications of your work to the selected domain. Full literature reviews are not expected, although relevant citations should be included.

2. Poster

Your poster should be designed to effectively communicate your research problem, technique, and results. In particular, you should highlight what is novel and important about your work. Reviewers will provide feedback and guidance on your poster design, so it is in your best interest to put effort into your poster design. The poster should be in a PDF format, in the portrait orientation, and can be no larger than size A0 (841 mm wide x 1189 mm high / 33.1 inches wide x 46.8 inches high)

4. Video (optional)

A video presenting the research displayed in your poster may be submitted along with your extended abstract. The video must be no longer than 3 minutes and must be less than 100 MB in size. Please make sure that your video is playable on standard PC and Macintosh computers. We recommend that you encode your video as an MP4 using the H.264 codec. Submitted videos may be used on the ISS website during and after the conference. Be sure to have permission for all content, and use rights-free music tracks.

Note that only your extended abstract and video (if submitted) will be published in the ACM Digital Library.

Selection Process

Posters will be reviewed by the poster chairs with help from members of the ISS 2024 Posters Committee.

Note that any submission conflicting with one or more guidelines (e.g., not adhering to the provided template, exceeding the 6 page limit, and so on) will be desk-rejected before the reviewing process begins to assure that all poster submissions can be reviewed and published on-time.

Upon Acceptance of Your Poster

As there is a short time between notifications and the camera-ready deadline, it is not possible to make large changes to your extended abstract. The camera-ready versions of accepted extended abstracts must be accompanied by a signed copyright form which will be provided to accepted authors by the ACM. Once the form is completed, we will provide you with the copyright information to be included in your paper. You can then submit the final version (including the new copyright notice) through the Precision Conference System by September 26. Upon acceptance, changes can be made to the poster design if desired, but they are not required.

For each accepted poster, at least one author must register for the ISS 2024 conference. The attending author is expected to present their accepted poster during the poster session at the conference.

Please ensure that you and your co-authors obtain an ORCID ID, so you can complete the publishing process for your accepted extended abstract. ACM has been involved in ORCID from the start and we have recently made a commitment to collect ORCID IDs from all of our published authors. We are committed to improving author discoverability, ensuring proper attribution, and contributing to ongoing community efforts around name normalization; your ORCID ID will help in these efforts.
