Call for Papers
---------------------------------------------
*ACM Symposium on Spatial User Interaction (SUI) 2015 *
Co-located with the 42nd International Conference and Exhibition on
Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (SIGGRAPH)
Los Angeles, CA (USA) Aug 8-9, 2015
http://sui-symposium.org/
---------------------------------------------

The ACM Symposium on Spatial User Interaction (SUI) 2015 is the third
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 2015
in conjunction with ACM SIGGRAPH 2015, and will take place prior to the
conference.

We invite you to participate in the ACM Symposium on SUI 2015. 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original, unpublished papers documenting original research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 (normally 8 pages, maximum 10) 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 2015's reviewing
period. All submissions should be prepared in the ACM SIG Proceedings
format:

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

Supplementary videos are strongly encouraged, but not required.

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.

*Final approval for SUI 2015 is currently still pending.*
