*NEWS*
Only two weeks until the paper+notes deadline: June 25th
(see call for papers and notes a little further below for details)
*ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:*
The field of Interactive Tabletops and Surfaces is rapidly evolving.
Hardware prices are falling, core sensing technology is improving,
software toolkits are maturing, and interaction paradigms are slowly
beginning to solidify. As a result, interactive tabletops and surfaces
are increasingly making their way beyond laboratories and appearing in a
wide variety of private and public spaces including museums, offices,
schools, airports, hotels, medical centers, and homes. Such surfaces
employ a variety of technologies (capacitive sensing, computer vision,
motion sensors, etc.) and appear in varied form-factors (large walls and
tabletops, tablets and slates, flexible materials, on-demand projection,
etc.). The ACM conference on Interactive Tabletops and Surfaces brings
together researchers and practitioners from a variety of backgrounds and
interest areas. The intimate size of this single-track symposium
provides an ideal venue for leading researchers, practitioners, and
students to exchange research results and experiences. We encourage
submissions on (but not limited to) the following topic areas as they
relate to interactive tabletops and surfaces:
Systems for, experiences with, and/or evaluations of surfaces in
specific application areas (education, science, business, entertainment,
health, accessibility, homes, etc.)
Gesture-based interfaces
Multi-modal interfaces
Tangible interfaces
Novel interaction techniques
Data handling/exchange
Information visualization/data presentation
Software engineering methods
Computer supported collaborative work
Co-located, distributed, or mixed-presence collaboration
Middleware and network support
Virtual reality and augmented reality
Social protocols
Hardware, including sensing and input technologies with novel
capabilities
Human-centered design and methodologies
Interaction in context
Evaluations and user studies
*CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: PAPERS AND NOTES*
We invite paper submissions of two kinds: Papers (10 pages) and Notes (4
pages). Papers must present original, innovative, and forward-looking
research, possibly in one or more of the themes given above. Notes must
also report novel and complete research, but with a more focused and
succinct contribution than papers. Submissions must be submitted as a
single PDF file in the ACM format through the submission system. When
appropriate, authors are also encouraged to submit a supplementary video
file (not to exceed 3 minutes in length and 30 MB in size).
*Important Dates*
June 25, 5:00 p.m. PDT: Deadline for initial submissions
August 1: First-round notifications (Revise or Reject)
August 24, 5:00 p.m. PDT: Deadline for revised submissions
September 12: Final notifications (Accept or Reject)
September 22: Deadline for camera-ready submissions
New Review Process
We are excited to introduce a new review process for ITS 2012. For
details please see the cfp on our website:

Mentoring
ITS 2012 offers a mentorship program to help those with less experience
in academic publication. This mentoring program is intended primarily
for authors from non-academic backgrounds, including industry. Mentors
will be the chairs or volunteers who are familiar with successful
submissions at ITS and relevant conferences (such as CHI, UIST, and
CSCW). They will help you prepare your submissions to the ITS audience
through one-on-one advising. However, please note that we cannot
guarantee that your submission will be accepted at ITS in any case.
The deadline to submit a mentoring request is 5:00 p.m. Pacific Daylight
Time on June 12, 2012.
Please see the website for further details:

*OTHER SUBMISSION CATEGORIES:*
You can also submit entries to the following submission categories:
* Demos
* Tutorials
* Doctoral Symposium
* Posters
