The ACM International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction (TEI) addresses issues of human-computer interaction, novel tools and technologies, interactive art, and user experience. The work presented at TEI has a strong focus on how computing can bridge atoms and bits into cohesive interactive systems. The intimate size of this single-track conference provides a unique forum for exchanging ideas and presenting innovative work through talks, interactive exhibits, demos, hands-on studios, posters, art installations, and performances.
TEI is sponsored by ACM SIGCHI, who have additional historical data on this conference series on their website.
The theme for TEI2021 is The Art of Interaction, inviting all participants and in particular artists to speculate on a vision of how art impacts, inspires and shapes our research practice. We consider art and the artistic method an important aspect for tangible interaction design, ranging from physical to digital works across all genres, such as interactive installations, performance art, and tangible sculptures. TEI2021 will therefore focus on the further development of the art exhibition & performance track and foster the artistic method through a dedicated artist residency program in Linz and Salzburg.
PAPERS
Papers at TEI present the latest research results in tangible, embedded and embodied interaction. Accepted submissions will be presented as a talk and/or demo during the main conference.
PICTORIALS
Pictorials at TEI leverage the power of visual communication for physical design objects, documenting tangible research methods and results. Accepted submissions will be presented as a short talk and/or demo during the main conference.

The Graduate Student Consortium at TEI allows junior researchers to share experiences and discuss their progress with senior advisors. Accepted students present their work the day before the main conference.
ART & PERFORMANCE
TEI is open for submissions from artists and performers exploring the art of interaction with tangible and embodied interfaces. Accepted submissions will be exhibited at Kunstraum 5020 and/or performed during the first evening of the main conference. TEI2021 offers the special opportunity of an artist residency program in Salzburg and Linz.
STUDIOS
