ACM International Conference on Interactive experiences for Television and Online Video (TVX 2017)

Hilversum,Netherlands

June 14-16, 2017

Call for Papers :

ACM TVX is the leading international conference for research into online video, TV interaction and user experience. It is a multi-disciplinary conference and we welcome submissions in a broad range of topics. Our aim is to foster discussions and innovative experiences amongst the academic research community and industry. In particular, we encourage submissions that address the different domains in the TV and online media ecosystems, including content production, implementation/deployment, design of novel interaction techniques and devices, new content distribution models, user research, user experience and exploration of interactive experiences for TV and online video. As the main theme of the conference is ‘Alternate Realities’, we particularly welcome contributions that look into specific tools, methods and evaluation of experiences related to creating and enabling alternate realities.

Topics of Interest

• Content production: research on traditional and novel content production paradigms for the new media landscape. Including cross-platform services, interactive and transmedia storytelling, personalization (user modeling and adaptive user interfaces, recommendation systems), and immersive media production.
• Systems & infrastructures: descriptions of the architecture, design, deployment, and evaluation of systems and infrastructures that support television and online video. Including delivery, transmission, and synchronization of media that leverages TV and online video experiences in a number of scenarios such as entertainment, gaming, education, healthcare, etc.
• Devices & interaction techniques: descriptions of the design, architecture, usage and evaluation of devices and interaction techniques that enable e.g. a connected ecosystem of devices, creating valuable new capabilities for online video and television.
• User experience & interaction design: studies on how and why people consume and interact with online video and television and how such systems should be designed to provide most easiest, efficient, engaging and novel user experiences. This includes novel user interface designs, user-centered design methods and approaches and quality of experience measurement and monitoring. Research that explores the social aspects of TV and online video, enabling a complex ecosystem of people communicating with each other in synchronous and asynchronous manners.
• Media studies: studies that aim to understand consumption practices and changing behavior as well as adoption and domestication of new TV-related services, and Quality of Experience. This topic also includes research on ethical, regulatory, and policy issues as well as novel mechanisms for evaluating the impact of TV and online video, and audience measurements.
• Immersive media experiences: research on novel ways of content production (for example, 360 panoramic and omnidirectional video capture) and consumption making use of immersive devices such as head-mounted displays, as stand-alone experiences or in combination with other more traditional TV viewing devices (for example TV-set, tablet). This topic also includes explorations of augmented, mixed and virtual reality for content production, delivery and consumption.
• Alternate realities: studies into what makes the access to alternate realities an enriching experience; explorations on how interaction, virtual and augmented reality technologies, UHD TV, second third and fourth screens, and streaming technologies can generate added value in delivering alternate realities, and on how to measure this added value. Reports on  technologies that can better guide the user to find its preferred alternate reality, offering appealing, personalized, context aware content selected or recommended from the multitude of the available material online.
• Data science and recommendations: descriptions of advanced computational systems based on content and/or user generated data to support collaborative filtering, interactive/synchronous environments, collective intelligence and crowdsourcing, or location-based and context-aware applications and services.
• Business models & marketing: research, practice and case studies around novel business models and marketing strategies for the new media landscape of TV and online video (for example OTT services,..). This topic includes studies around novel ways of advertising models and strategies (for example targeted advertising, programmatic buying).
• Innovative concepts and media art: research on innovative design strategies, new concepts, and prototype experiences for TV and online video, including case studies and media artworks and performances.
