Call For Video Submission
Human Robot Interaction Caught On Film
======================================
The Human Robot Interaction 2007 conference will host a video session,
in which movies of interesting, important, illustrative, or humorous HRI
research moments will be shown. We invite videos related to all aspects
of human-robot interaction. Robots and humans do not always behave as
expected and the results can be entertaining and even enlightening -
therefore instances of failures will also be considered. We invite all
researchers in the HRI area to share their best videos that may have
been taken accidentally or intentionally.
A panel of your peers will review video submissions. Besides the
importance of the lessons learned and the novelty of the situation, the
entertainment value will be judged.
Each video must be accompanied by a 200-word abstract that describes the
video. The video itself must be self-explanatory for the HRI-2007
conference audience. The use of voice-over, subtitles or introduction
slides is recommended to prepare the audience for the video.
The selected videos will be published in the conference proceedings
(CD-ROM) and in the ACM digital library. The authors of the selected
videos should plan to attend the conference and will be given a moment
to explain the video.
Submission
==========
The video material should be of the highest available quality. The video
should preferably not be scaled down or compressed. The preferred video
format (codec) is standard DV in either the PAL or the NTSC standard.

minutes.

addition, an email with the movie's title, contact details for all
authors, the abstract, a representative screenshot, and the filename of
the submission must be sent to [log in to unmask] Alternatively, the
author can put a video on a web site and submit the video's URL.
The deadline for submission is JANUARY 4th, 2007. The notice of
acceptance will be send by JANUARY 15th, 2007. Upon acceptance, the
authors will have to submit an ACM release form. Authors' do not need to
assign the copyright to ACM. In addition, the authors must have obtained
permission of every relevant person in the movie for showing the video
at the conference and for distributing the movie in the proceedings and
in the ACM digital library.
Alternatively, the people in the movie may be rendered anonymous by
visual effects, such as blurring.
