Submission and Presentation
The work submitted should be described in a paper using ACM SIGCHI Extended Abstract format (maximum 4 pages). The paper should describe the underlying ideas and motivations for the work in sufficient detail to allow the reviewers to critically assess the potential contribution of the work. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of the pictorial nature of the Extended Abstract format in describing and illustrating their work
Review
Creative showcase submissions will be subjected to a double blind peer review by a panel of domain experts. Authors are expected to anonymise their papers by removing all author and institutional identity from the title and header of the paper as well as any information embedded within the submission file. However all references must remain intact, i.e. submitted papers should not have blank references (e.g., “8. REMOVED FOR REVIEWING”). In cases where you build on (and cite) your own work we suggest you refer to yourself in the third person, for example ?This study builds on prior work by <author names> [8].?
Submission Requirements
1. Paper in ACM SIGCHI Extended Abstract format (maximum 4 pages) via EasyChair.
2. [Optional] Poster design in A0 size poster orientation
3. Video describing the work (5 minutes maximum)
4. A short document (in PDF format) describing the layout and technical requirements of the showcase, e.g. space, light, sound, etc.
