MIG 2022 CALL FOR PAPERS


The 15th annual ACM/SIGGRAPH conference on Motion, Interaction and Games (MIG 2022) will take place in Guanajuato, Mexico, 3rd - 5th November, 2022.

The goal of the Motion, Interaction, and Games conference is to be a platform for bringing together researchers from interactive systems and animation, and have them present their most recent results, initiate collaborations, and contribute to the advancement of the research area. The program will consist of regular paper sessions for long and short papers, posters, and invited talks by a selection of internationally renowned speakers from Academia and the Industry.

All of the accepted long and short papers will be presented during sessions at the conference. They will be archived in the ACM Digital Libraries with their own DOIs. All submissions will be considered for the Best Paper, Best Student Paper, and Best Presentation awards, which will be conferred during the conference.

Authors of selected best papers will be invited to submit extended and significantly revised versions to be considered for publication in a special section of IEEE Transactions on Visualizations and Computer Graphics, and the Computer & Graphics Journal.


Submission

Papers should be anonymized for double-blind reviewing. All submissions should be formatted using the SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines (sigconf).

Detailed submission instructions are available at: http://mig2022.cs.purdue.edu/
