Demonstrations

Important Dates

• 28th August 2024: Submission deadline
• 16th October 2024: Notification of acceptance

All submissions are in Anywhere on Earth (AoE) time zone.

Demonstrations are contributions that allow researchers to present interactive experiences or technologies in a hands-on way for OzCHI conference attendees.  Your demonstration can be an interactive experience, an interesting prototype, an art performance, or a novel system–or a combination of the above! We encourage submissions from any area of human-computer interaction, games, design, digital and interactive art, and entertainment.

We look forward to reading your submission!

On-Site Details

Demonstrations at OzCHI 2024 are planned as fully in-person. We ask authors who would like to present a demonstration at the conference to detail their envisioned setup in the paper submission. The organisers will provide you with a standard table, WiFi, and electrical outlets. Demonstrations will be presented alongside posters in dedicated time slots throughout the conference.

Preparing and Submitting Your Demonstration Submission

Submissions must have the following components: (1) Paper and (2) Supplementary Video.

Step 1: Download the ACM Master Template

• Word and LaTeX users download the template here;
• Please ensure that you use the correct template. The single-column format must be used for the reviewing phase. Using different templates or formats may result in desk rejection.

Step 2: Prepare your proposal 

• Develop a proposal outlining the title, context of the demo, duration, and required equipment and space. Please see our paper and video guidelines below for further details.

Step 3: Complete submission

• Paper submissions should be in PDF format
• Supplementary videos should be in MP4 format.
• Submissions must be emailed to the Demo chairs.
• We suggest using an online repository (e.g., Onedrive or Dropbox) to store your video, or uploading to YouTube, and including a link in your submission email.

Paper

The paper should include:

• A description of the installation or technical system as well as the research problem it addresses.
• A title of the work, duration of the demonstration, as well as any equipment required.
• A description of how the work contributes to current HCI research, addressing its background, rationale, and novelty.

Paper guidelines:

• The paper should be up to 6 pages in the single-column ACM format, including references.
• The paper should be self-contained, i.e., readable for people who are not able to attend the conference or view the video.
• The submission should not be anonymised. Confidentiality of submissions will be kept during the review process. Rejected submissions will remain confidential.
• The paper should be submitted in PDF format.

Video

A video is a good supplementary medium to communicate your proposed demonstration. Submitted videos will be used for review purposes. The videos may also be displayed on-site during the conference. Make sure you have permission for all content, including background music and graphical material.

Video guidelines:

• The video must not be longer than 5 minutes
• The file must be no larger than 400 MB.
