requirements (mandatory for Explorations).
*Message from the Interactivity Chairs*
Interactivity is your chance to fully engage CHI attendees at a personal
level by letting them see, touch, squeeze, hear or even smell your
interactive visions for the future. Interactivity promotes and provokes
discussion of the role of technology, and invites contributions from
industry, research, the arts and design.
*Interactivity-Research* is the high-visibility, high-impact forum of the
Technical Program which allows you to present your hands-on demonstration
in two sessions. This track is for the year’s most exciting research
prototypes and demos. If you have a working prototype, device, or system we
want to know about it. Getting people hands-on with your interface is often
the best way to communicate what you have created.

*Interactivity-Explorations* is about cultural applications and
explorations of future technologies. If your work asks questions and
inspires reflection on the role of technology in people’s lives, their
dreams and imaginations we want to hear from you. We are looking for
artworks, design experiences as well as inspirational technologies that the
audience can engage with intellectually and imaginatively. The Explorations
track moves beyond proof of concept prototypes to cultural applications and
explorations. We invite submissions from artists, researchers, designers
and industry: come share your vision of the future with the delegates at
CHI.

*Get more attention, more time at the conference*
We understand that interactivity authors often contribute more effort than
any other contributors to CHI. To recognize this, we invite you to exhibit
your work on Monday and Tuesday, giving you the ability to enjoy the
conference at its fullest Wednesday and Thursday. You can also opt-in to
exhibit your work to the general public on Wed from 2-6pm.
• Simplified submission for “paper” and “note” authors: The interactivity
deadline is several weeks after the paper/notes acceptance notifications.
We encourage authors of accepted papers and notes to submit their work also
to the appropriate Interactivity track of their choice. To simplify things,
submit your accepted note/paper ID (as per your acceptance email) instead
of the extended abstract. If you prefer to submit an Extended Abstract (and
consequently have it published in the Digital Library) as a stand-alone
submission, you can of course also do that.
• Funding: If your project requires you to ship a large amount of
material, talk to us: we can fund travel & shipping expenses for selected
projects.
• If you want to exhibit your work during the entire conference, there is
also the option to do so in a separate publicly accessible area.
*Preparing and Submitting your CHI Interactivity Submission*
Previously published work will be accepted into the Interactivity track, on
condition that the publication and presentation history is clearly outlined
in the submission. The Interactivity-research track, in particular,
encourages submissions that complement a paper or note submission, to allow
attendees a direct experience of work that they will hear about in the
technical presentations. The submission should have the following distinct
components.
*Part 1: Extended Abstract*
The extended abstract is an unanonymized 4-page short paper in the *Extended
Abstract Format* <http://chi2013.acm.org/authors/format/#extendedformat> (i.e.
includes author information). It should be self-contained and clearly
describe the novelty and distinguishing ideas of your project, even for
readers who were not able to view related demonstration at the conference
or associated videos. Your abstract should include:
• A description of the system, installation, exhibit or performance, and
the problem it addresses. Where relevant, discuss the broader context and
questions that your work promotes reflection upon.
• A description of the audience the work intends to serve
• A description of the relevance of the work to the immediate CHI
conference community, as well as to the broader CHI community, emphasizing
its novelty, uniqueness, and rationale.
*Part 2: Video*
A video is by far the best way to communicate interactive projects to the
reviewers and provides an archive of the work. You must submit a video in
addition to your written documentation (Exception: If your submission
accompanies an accepted paper or note, the video is optional but strongly
encouraged. You may use your video preview that you need to prepare for
your publication-ready submission.). The video must be no longer than 5
minutes and all uploaded content (PDF(s) + image + video) must be less than
100 MB. Please make sure that your video is playable on standard PC and
Macintosh computers. We recommend that you encode your video as an MP4
using the H.264 codec. Most video editing software provides an exporting
option to MP4/H.264, for example iMovie, Adobe Premiere, and Final Cut Pro.
If you prefer to use free software,
*x264*<http://www.videohelp.com/tools/x264_Encoder> can
encode any video into H.264. What also often works is uploading the video
to YouTube and downloading the encoded result. Submitted videos will be
used for review purposes. The videos may also be displayed at the
Interactivity site and possibly on web sites previewing CHI content (as an
example see *CHI 2010 Madness videos on
youtube*<http://www.youtube.com/user/CHIMadness2010>
).
*Part 3: Still Image*
You will also need to upload a still image of at least 1500×1200 px that
represents your work. The image is required for publications and conference
publicity.
*Part 4: Supplement*
In most cases, extended abstract and video will allow reviewers to imagine
what CHI attendees will experience at the presentation booth. For
Interactivity Research you may optionally clarify this by adding a
supplement that gives a brief walkthrough of attendees’ experience in the
form of a short textual description, a storyboard sketch, screenshots,
illustrations and photos. This supplement is mandatory for Interactivity
Exploration and must include technical set-up and space requirements in
addition to the above. Supplement materials are for the purpose of review
and planning only and will not be published. The supplement should be no
longer than 4 pages. Like all other materials, the supplement must be
submitted through the PCS submission system and the total of PDF(s), still,
video, and supplement cannot exceed 100 MB.

*CHI Interactivity Review Process*
The CHI 2013 Interactivity forum contains
*Juried*<http://chi2013.acm.org/authors/call-for-participation/#juried>
and *Curated*<http://chi2013.acm.org/authors/call-for-participation/#curated>
content
which may be invited, or selected from submissions. The selection process
includes reviews by independent reviewers from the relevant communities,
followed by jury selection of projects based on reviews, feasibility,
available space at the conference and other relevant information. Our
intention is to ensure that the Interactivity track represents the range of
projects being undertaken across CHI communities and these projects can be
presented appropriately at the conference.
*At the Conference*
If accepted, you will be assigned a booth or exhibition space in the
interactivity area or at other locations in the conference venue. Support
for building on-site and moving in/out of large/heavy exhibits is only
provided before the conference start and after the conference. Smaller
exhibits may be set up and dismantled for the required exhibition time
only. Please indicate in the demonstration supplement whether this is
feasible – it would allow us to ‘reuse’ the floor-space for another exhibit
on other days.
We have also compiled an *FAQ for exhibiting at CHI
interactivity*<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kPJ_ytgetYAuEekmpoFPrtds8NTdCOAw2tW5q2-pTuc/edit>
.
At CHI Interactivity you will be allocated a space for your work, but you
are responsible for bringing and setting up most of the equipment that is
required for presenting your work. We can possibly help with projectors,
plasma displays, etc. but please be aware that they are putting a strain
onto the CHI budget, so please request them only if absolutely necessary.
See the submission page for details.
Note that although student volunteers will be present in the Interactivity
space at all times, CHI will not be able to provide anyone to run your
demonstration.
*Publication on conference DVD and ACM Digital** **Library***
Accepted Interactivity extended abstracts and videos will be distributed in
the CHI Conference Extended Abstracts DVD and placed in the ACM Digital
Library.
