General Information<https://conf.researchr.org/track/iss-2022/iss-2022-posters#general-information>
We invite submissions to the poster category of ISS 2022.
The ACM ISS 2022 poster program offers an engaging venue to present and discuss new and developing research. Posters allow researchers to get feedback on early-stage work and work-in-progress, establish potential collaborations, and discuss the burning issues in ISS in an informal manner with the larger community during the interactive poster session.
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, design-led explorations of interactive tabletops, surfaces and spaces.
A poster submission will allow you to:

  *   Introduce your poster online to an international audience. 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 electronic conference proceedings in the ACM Digital Library.
Preparing the Submission<https://conf.researchr.org/track/iss-2022/iss-2022-posters#preparing-the-submission>
All submissions must include:

  *   An extended abstract with a maximum of 6 pages in the ACM Master Article Submission Template<https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow>.
  *   An electronic poster design using a provided web-based interface. Access to this interface will be granted after the extended abstract has been accepted for presentation.
  *   A short video of up to 3 minutes long and at most 100MB in size presenting the research displayed in the poster (optional).
Submission Deadline: Thu 1 Sep 2022

Calls for Contributions - Tutorials
We invite industry and academic leaders in interactive surfaces and spaces technologies interested in leading a tutorial session at ISS 2022 to submit a tutorial proposal following the guidelines below. Tutorials should focus on topics relevant to the ISS community and can include but are not limited to the following areas:

  *   Architectural concepts and emerging trends
  *   Immersive analytics and data physicalization
  *   Museum and art installation trends
  *   Interaction paradigms around large surfaces (tangibles, pen+touch, etc.)
  *   New and emerging body and space sensing technologies
  *   Overview of social protocols, presence, territoriality, and proxemics
  *   Evaluation methods for surface applications
  *   Multi-touch interaction with mobile devices
  *   Large scale and outdoor interactive spaces (projected interfaces, drones, ...)
  *   Feel, taste, smell and splash user interfaces on surfaces
  *   Affective spaces and surfaces
  *   ... and other exciting topics!
Depending on the final decisions regarding the conference format, authors will have the possibility to offer either virtual or hybrid tutorials. Nevertheless, we invite tutorial organizers to think creatively about how tutorials can leverage the fact that ISS 2022 will likely be held as a hybrid conference. We encourage tutorials that explore new ways of engaging the ISS community that would not be possible in a traditional offline format. Topics include but are not limited to:

  *   Online tools and technologies
  *   Demonstrating hardware setups and installations, exploring the ins and outs of setting up interactive spaces in our * labs
  *   Live coding and code demonstrations
  *   The latest hardware and platforms (e.g. HoloLens 2, pen & touch, gaze trackers, LIDAR sensors, MaxMSP, P5.js)
  *   Using online tools to scale tutorials (e.g. multiple camera angles for sketching)
  *   Tutorials can run from 90 minutes to a full day (the length is up to the tutorial organizers).
Submission Deadline: Thu 1 Sep 2022

Education and Industry Case Studies
ISS is a premier venue for presenting research in the design and use of new and emerging surface and space technologies. Case Studies are the continuation of the ISS application papers in previous years. Case Studies are open to researchers and practitioners (e.g. in industry, in education, etc.) and share compelling stories about HCI practice based on real-world experiences that will be instructive and of interest to other members of the community. Based on the concrete cases of research and design, HCI practitioners and researchers will learn how HCI principles and methods can be applied in practical HCI work. For example, industry members can submit papers to share customer outcomes and iterative improvements over next-best alternatives, or educators might submit papers to share applications of HCI to iterate over prior instructional methods or to share novel approaches to teaching HCI topics. Reviewers will emphasize the connection between the real-world domain and the technology used. This connection may for instance concern a challenging domain, features of a system crucial for the real-world use context, a special design process, practical issues in implementation or deployment, or new business opportunities.
Case Studies should describe how a problem was addressed by HCI work carried out. They should describe the challenges experienced and how they were tackled, reflect on the experience, what could have been improved, and describe why the case study is of importance to the HCI community. Case Studies can also inspire HCI researchers to further investigate issues that arise from practical research and design work. Case Studies can illustrate, explore, report, analyze, summarize, challenge, or simply describe practical HCI work carried out to address a problem.
Case Studies should focus on topics relevant to the ISS community and can include but are not limited to the following areas:

  *   Architectural concepts and emerging trends
  *   Immersive analytics and data physicalization
  *   Museum and art installation trends
  *   Interaction paradigms around large surfaces (tangibles, pen+touch, etc.)
  *   New and emerging body and space sensing technologies
  *   Overview of social protocols, presence, territoriality, and proxemics
  *   Evaluation methods for surface applications
  *   Multi-touch interaction with mobile devices
  *   Large scale and outdoor interactive spaces (projected interfaces, drones, ...)
  *   Feel, smell, taste, temperature, and splash user interfaces on surfaces
  *   Affective spaces and surfaces
  *   Novel and effective teaching of topics like the above
  *   HCI teaching and education
  *   ... and other exciting topics!
Submission Deadline: Thu 1 Sep 2022

Call for Contributions - Doctoral Symposium
The ACM ISS Doctoral Symposium (DS) provides Ph.D. students with the opportunity to meet and discuss their work with each other and a panel of experienced researchers in an informal and interactive setting. Participants can expect the chance to present their dissertation research in a supportive environment and to receive constructive expert and peer feedback on their research topics and possible career paths in both academia and industry. The Symposium aims to support community building by connecting beginning and established researchers. The ideal time to apply to participate in the DS is when some progress has been made in Ph.D. research and a path to completion is planned but could benefit from outside opinions and refinement.
All research topics suitable for the ACM ISS Conference and associated workshops are appropriate for the DS. The DS chairs aim to achieve diversity among the student participants, including diversity across research groups and geographical areas. Refer to previous years' proceedings for examples: https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3280295
All Ph.D. students are welcome to apply regardless of whether they are presenting at the main conference or not. Each submission will be reviewed by the DS chairs to assess its suitability for the DS, as well as additional expert reviewers when necessary. Authors of accepted submissions will present their work in a dedicated session and registration will be free for PhD students who do not present any other papers during the conference.
Submission<https://conf.researchr.org/track/iss-2022/doctoral-symposium#submission>
Every submission should include: * an extended abstract - no more than six pages in pdf format according to ACM Master Article Submission Template,
PhD Students should submit an extended abstract that describes:

  *   the problem that the thesis aims to address;
  *   the broad approach and how it builds upon and goes beyond key relevant previous work;
  *   the work completed and the plan for the full dissertation work;
  *   open questions/issues for discussion and/or what you want to get out of participating in the symposium.
Completed work may be presented as an overview or highlighting a particularly important part in depth. Submissions should not be anonymized for review.
We encourage authors of papers in all tracks submitted to ISS 2022 to apply to the DC. As ISS 2022 will be a hybrid conference, there will be opportunities to participate in the DC physically and in person.
Submission Deadline: Thu 1 Sep 2022
