We are very pleased to present an exciting program for ACM TVX 2017, which has been put together based on submissions from scholars around the globe.
As the leading international conference for the presentation and discussion of research into interactive experiences for online video and TV, 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, to present and discuss the latest insights in the field. The ACM TVX 2017' conference theme is "Alternate Realities". Research on this topic will be presented together with topics such as Virtual Reality, new interaction technologies & techniques, user consumption patterns, the role of the audience and second screen interactions.
The call for papers attracted submissions from Asia, Europe and North and South America. 41 full and short papers were submitted and subjected to a rigorous double-blind review process. Each paper was assigned to an associate chair (AC) who recruited at least three reviewers for each paper and wrote a meta-review summarizing the main points of each review. The review process included at rebuttal period, giving authors the chance to respond to the reviewers' comments. During the TPC meeting on March 17, 2017 in Delft, the Netherlands, each paper was discussed in-depth and the final decision on the accepted papers was made, resulting in a high-quality program of 13 accepted full and short papers, accounting for an acceptance rate of 31%. Full papers, short papers, the abstracts of the four workshops co-located with TVX and of the TVX-in-Asia forum are part of the main proceedings and will be included in the ACM Digital Library.
In addition to these submissions, there were several other tracks that attracted a large number contributions, resulting into 10 Work-in-Progress papers, 9 Doctoral Consortium papers, 2 TVX in Industry presentations and 10 demos, which are all made available in the adjunct proceedings.
The ACM TVX 2017 conference also features two interesting keynote presentations related to the main topic of 'Alternate Realities'. We would definitely recommend attendees to attend these insightful keynote talks, a first one by Wijnand IJsselsteijn, Professor in Cognition and Affect in Human-Technology Interaction at Eindhoven University of Technology and a second one by Arthur van Hoff, Founder and CTO of Jaunt, leader in Cinematic VR experiences.
