ACM Symposium on Spatial User Interaction (SUI) 2014
Co-located with ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology 
(UIST) 2014
Honolulu, Hawaii (USA)
Oct 4-5, 2014

---------------------------------------------

The ACM Symposium on Spatial User Interaction (SUI) 2014 is the second 
international symposium focused on the user interface challenges that 
appear when users interact in the space where the flat, two-dimensional, 
digital world meets the volumetric, physical, three-dimensional (3D) 
space we live in. This considers both spatial input and 3D output, with 
an emphasis on the issues around interaction between humans and systems.

Due to the advances in 3D technologies, spatial interaction is now more 
relevant than ever. Powerful graphics engines and high-resolution 
screens are now ubiquitous in everyday devices, such as tablets and 
mobile phones. Moreover, new forms of input, such as multi-touch, finger 
and body tracking technologies are now easily available. In this 
environment, spatial UIs are transitioning out of the research community 
and game industry. More and more commercial 3D systems with spatial 
interaction capabilities exist, many priced at the consumer level. Until 
now, the challenges, limitations, and advantages of using this third 
dimension for human-computer interfaces have not been well understood. 
These questions will only become more relevant as the associated 
technologies continue to cross the barrier towards wide adoption.

The goal of the symposium is to provide an intensive exchange between 
industrial and academic researchers working in the area of spatial user 
interaction and to foster discussions among participants. ACM’s Special 
Interest Groups on Graphics and Computer-Human Interaction (SIGGRAPH and 
SIGCHI) co-sponsor the event. The two-day symposium will be held in 2014 
in conjunction with ACM UIST 2014, and will take place prior the ACM 
UIST 2014 conference. In 2015, the event is planned to take place in 
conjunction with ACM SIGGRAPH 2015.

We invite you to participate in the ACM Symposium on SUI 2014. We seek 
original, unpublished papers documenting original research 
contributions, practice and experience, or novel applications, from all 
areas of spatial user interaction. User interface evaluations are 
strongly encouraged for every publication in this venue. The symposium 
solicits full and short papers. Papers are of variable length, and paper 
length must be based on the weight of the contribution. Full papers (up 
to 10 pages) should describe research or design work within the scope of 
spatial user interaction. Short papers (up to 4 pages) should address 
the same topic, but may include preliminary results or conceptual ideas. 
Submitted papers should be anonymous for the double blind reviewing 
process, led by an international program committee. Submissions must not 
be previously published or accepted for publication elsewhere and must 
not be under review by any other publication venue during SUI 2014’s 
reviewin!
  g period. All submissions should be prepared in the ACM SIG 
Proceedings format,

	http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates.

Supplementary videos are not required, but are strongly encouraged.
Submissions should address one or more of the following topics within 
spatial user interaction. Unlisted but strongly related topics are also 
welcome:
- Spatial interaction techniques
- Spatial user interface metaphors
- Spatial input devices and technology
- Interaction on spatial, stereoscopic, and 3D displays
- Evaluation methods for spatial user interaction
- Collaborative interaction in 3D space
- Design and user experience (UX) for spatial user interaction
- Applications of human spatial perception to interaction
- Adaptive and perceptual-inspired spatial user interaction
- Applications of spatial UIs, such as games, entertainment, CAD, education.
- Gesture-based spatial interaction
- Tangible spatial user interaction
- Multi-touch technologies for spatial user interaction
- Desktop interfaces for spatial interaction
- Multisensory and other novel forms of spatial user interaction

For accepted papers and posters, at least one author must register for 
the conference and present the work. If no author is registered by the 
early registration deadline, the accepted work will be withdrawn from 
the proceedings and digital libraries.

Important Dates
- Submission deadline: June 27, 2014
- Notification deadline: August 1, 2014
- Symposium: Oct 4-5, 2014
