Submission deadline: January 28, 2022

The ACM International Conference on Interactive Media Experiences (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. Possible 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 (e.g. performance & opera, digital humanities, etc.).

All submissions should follow the ACM guidelines. There is a single submission paper format (for long and short papers in the main paper track). We invite the submission of anonymized papers of between 7,000-8,000 words excluding references and figure/table captions, with a 150 word abstract. Authors are encouraged to submit a paper of length proportional to its contribution; valuable but concise contributions are also welcome as short papers (anonymized and up to 4000 words excluding references and figure/table captions). Shorter, more focused papers will be reviewed with the expectation of a small, focused contribution.

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 paper@imx2022.com.
