- Call for Papers -

We invite you to participate in the ACM Symposium on Spatial User Interaction 2016, which will be co-located with UIST 2016 in Tokyo, Japan. We seek original, unpublished papers documenting original research contributions, practice and experience, or novel applications, from all areas of spatial user interaction.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 2016's reviewing period.

All submissions should be prepared in the ACM SIG Proceedings format (http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-template.html). Supplementary videos are strongly encouraged, but not required. Submissions should address one or more of the topics above within spatial user interaction. Unlisted but strongly related topics are also welcome.

Accepted work will be archived in the ACM Digital Library, and will be provided as open-access for the first month following the symposium. Selected SUI papers will be presented in a special poster track at UIST 2016. Please note that at least one author of each accepted submission will be required to register to present at the symposium. If no author is registered by the early registration deadline, the accepted work will be withdrawn from the proceedings and digital libraries.



- Call for Posters -


We invite you to participate in the ACM Symposium on Spatial User Interaction 2016, which will be co-located with UIST 2016 in Tokyo, Japan, by submitting a poster. We seek posters describing work in progress, novel ideas, novel systems, or late implementation of an application from all areas of spatial user interaction. You can submit both a paper and a poster on a topic, and some authors of rejected papers will be advised to present their work as posters.

Posters extended abstracts should be prepared as a one-page manuscript in the ACM SIG Proceedings format (http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-template.html). Please submit your extended abstract in camera-ready format. Note that poster submissions, unlike paper submissions, are not anonymous. Extra information such as videos may also be submitted. These will be taken into account during the review process and may be included in the final publication. Submissions should address one or more of the topics above within spatial user interaction. Unlisted but strongly related topics are also welcome.

Poster authors are expected to prepare a final version of their one-page extended abstract and present their poster at the symposium in a special session. The poster design must be less than 30 x 40 inches (76 x 101 cm), either portrait or landscape orientation. Please note that at least one author of each accepted poster will be required to register to present at the symposium. If no author is registered by the early registration deadline, the accepted poster will be withdrawn from the proceedings and digital libraries.



- Call for Demos -


We invite you to participate in the ACM Symposium on Spatial User Interaction (SUI) 2016, which will be co-located with UIST 2016 in Tokyo, Japan, by submitting a proposal for a research demonstration. We seek research demonstrations from laboratories or research groups (academic, government, or industrial) from all areas of spatial user interaction. This is your chance to fully engage SUI attendees at a personal level by letting them see and interact with your work. Demos should interest the broad SUI community and be presentable in a conference setting.

Submissions should address one or more of the topics above within spatial user interaction. Unlisted but strongly related topics are also welcome.

Demo proposals should include:
- A one-page description of the demo in ACM SIG Proceedings (http://www.acm.org/publications/article-templates/proceedings-template.html) extended abstracts format. This description should include information about the system, installation, exhibit or performance, audience the work intends to serve, foreseen benefits to audience members, as well as the relevance and impact of the work to SUI community, emphasizing its novelty, uniqueness and rationale. A short paragraph should be included with a description of the research lab itself. Please submit your extended abstract in camera-ready format. Note that research demo submissions, unlike paper submissions, are not anonymous.
- Supplementary materials should include a schematic of the layout (showing components such as projectors/cameras) of the demo. Please include what equipment you will be bringing and other equipment/materials you are requesting, although we cannot guarantee any equipment will be provided, there may be a possibility depending on availability, need, travel, etc.
- (Optional) A brief video of the demo (URL to be included in the proposal ? no files as attachments). The video should demonstrate how users will interact with the demo, layout and size, as well as any other relevant information about the demo. This is optional, but the authors are strongly encouraged to prepare their videos in their submissions.

SUI 2016 will provide basic infrastructure for the demos (space, a table, and power). In addition, authors of accepted demonstrations will have a time slot in the fast-forward research demonstration session to communicate more general information about the specific demo and other work being performed at the lab. For accepted demos, the proposal will be included in the proceedings and at least one author must register for the symposium and host their demos during the demo session, lunch breaks and during all coffee breaks. If no author is registered by the early registration deadline, the accepted work will be withdrawn from the proceedings and digital libraries. Selected SUI demos will be given the opportunity to demonstrate their work at UIST 2016 as well.
