Guidelines for Poster Design and Presentation of Demonstrations

Posters should be created by the authors according to the template provided by the track coordination in the standard size of 90 cm x 120 cm for presentation at the event. In order to promote accessibility in the poster session, a set of recommendations has been developed regarding colors, fonts, and accessible digital format linked to the printed poster.

Colors

Ensure sufficient contrast between text and background using a tool like the WebAIM contrast checker to verify.

Avoid relying solely on color to convey meaning. Instead, use patterns or shading in addition to colors in tables, charts, illustrations, and maps where color differences are intended to convey information.

Font

Recommended: sans-serif fonts such as Arial, Gill Sans, Helvetica, and Verdana for body and title text.

Serif fonts like Times New Roman and Garamond are recommended only for titles.

Font Size

Main Title: 72 points (minimum) - 158 points (ideal)

Section Titles: 42 points (minimum) - 56 points (ideal)

Body Text: 24 points (minimum) - 36 points (ideal)

Captions: 18 points (minimum) - 24 points (ideal)

Digital Format

Provide a QR code or a short URL link to your poster in digital PDF format.

It is important to ensure that the poster is accessible to screen reader users.

Provide alternative text and/or descriptive captions for images, figures, and graphics.

Set the reading order for text blocks and other elements of the poster: in PowerPoint, go to Arrange → Selection Pane → Drag items into the correct order.

PowerPoint has a built-in accessibility checker that will highlight issues and provide guidance on how to fix them: Tools → Check Accessibility → Inspection Results.

If exporting to PDF format, make sure to "Save as PDF" or "Save as Adobe PDF" (not "Print to PDF").

For the presentation of demonstrations, the event organization will provide: a table, a chair, a power outlet, and internet access. Any other equipment should be provided by the authors.

Call for Papers

The Posters and Demonstrations track is an important forum within IHC'23, where members of academia and industry can present ongoing work (Posters) or demonstrate interactive computational systems (Demonstrations) that are relevant to the field of HCI and aligned with the event's topics of interest.

The Posters session is intended for presentations and discussions of ongoing work in the early or intermediate stages, without consolidated results, but still relevant to the HCI field and its community.

The Demonstrations session is intended for the exhibition of various types of interactive computational systems, in development or completed, that are relevant to the HCI field, including but not limited to: presentation of new design solutions, new interaction styles, intelligent environments, solutions in the Internet of Things, Augmented and Virtual Reality, games, among others. In both sessions, submissions are welcome from authors seeking constructive contributions from active members of the HCI community in Brazil.

Submissions

Submissions must be anonymous, with a limit of 2 to 4 pages, excluding references, in the formatting indicated by the SBC template. Authors must submit their work electronically, in PDF format, using the JEMS system in PDF format.

It is expected that submissions for Posters contain:

• Clear and explicit definition of the contribution and originality of the work: What is the problem? How can your solution approach help? How does your approach relate to existing ones?

• Focus on the contribution of your work rather than theoretical foundations, including only sufficient theoretical background to make clear how your work differs from existing research.

For Demonstrations, in addition to the items listed above, works must include:

• Description of the system and its scientific and/or technological contribution, including social impacts and Human-Computer Interaction;

• In a separate document (submitted using the JEMS system), describe operational information for the demonstration, such as necessary space, devices that authors intend to bring for the demonstration, interaction with the public, etc.

Works submitted to the Posters and Demonstrations track may be selected based on the significance of the problem or the originality of the solution approach.

Review Process

Submissions will be reviewed by at least two members of the IHC' 23 program committee. In case of disparity and inconsistency between reviews, a third evaluation will be requested. If the submission is accepted, the authors must consider the review comments to prepare the final version of the article.

Presentation and Publication

Accepted papers will be published in the extended proceedings of IHC'23, indexed in SBC OpenLib. At least one of the authors must be registered for the event and present the approved work in a collective and interactive exhibition. Unjustified absence in the presentation will result in the cancellation of the publication in the event proceedings. Posters and demonstrations will be presented during the event according to the program. Information about procedures, recommendations, and available resources at the event will be forwarded later.
