Submission deadline: January 29, 2021
The ACM International Conference on Interactive Media Experiences (IMX) is the leading international conference for presentation and discussion of research into interactive media experiences. The conference brings together international researchers and practitioners from a wide range of disciplines, ranging from human-computer interaction, multimedia engineering and design to media studies, media psychology and sociology.
IMX focuses on challenges and innovations across diverse forms of media engagement and experiences. The aim is to provoke and promote discussion and the sharing of exciting ideas amongst researchers, industry practitioners and the academic community in all forms of media: VR, AR, MR, XR, 360 degree, live-streaming, online media content, authoring and production, as well as TV. We encourage authors to submit their novel research findings in analyzing, developing, creating, installing, evaluating, critiquing, or distributing interactive media experiences.
Topics of interest include:
- Understanding audience interests and their related interaction with content.
- Developing new content forms and formats and media/video‑centric experiences.
- Analyzing and developing underlying technologies and systems.
- Critiquing and creating production tools and workflows.
- Exploring the use and implications of AI and machine learning (e.g. in social media, media analytics, etc…).
- Developing innovative business models and marketing techniques in relation to multimedia experiences.
- Understanding wider social and cultural contexts of multimedia experiences.
- Designing and showcasing experimental media interactive art experiences.
- Exploring cultural, artistic, and creative experiences through interactive multimedia beyond entertainment (e.g. performance & opera, digital humanities, etc.).
Further details on each of the topics are on the conference website. IMX is an inclusive, growing, interdisciplinary community, so if you aren’t sure whether the specifics of your research are in scope then please email papers@imx2021.com.
