Graphics Interface 2023 invites submissions covering all aspects of HCI, graphics, and visualization. Research at the intersections of these areas, as well as intersections with computer vision, machine learning, and artificial intelligence are also encouraged. All paper submissions are rigorously peer reviewed by at least three reviewers.

Graphics Interface is the Canadian annual conference devoted to computer graphics, interactive systems, and human-computer interaction. It is the oldest regularly-scheduled computer graphics and HCI conference; the first conference was held in 1969. GI 2023 will be in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, between May 30 and June 2, 2023.

All accepted GI papers will be indexed in the ACM Digital Library and will be open access in the GI archive. The Michael A. J. Sweeney Award will be awarded at the conference to the best student papers in computer graphics and HCI. Additionally, authors of top papers will be invited to submit revised and extended versions to the journals IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG) and Computers & Graphics.
Conference Format

GI 2023 will be a hybrid conference. Attendees/presenters will have the option of attending and presenting in person or remotely.

We encourage attendance in person to fully take advantage of the extensive opportunities to connect with other researchers in a great environment, and to build community. However, we will also facilitate remote attendance for those who cannot make it in person. Registration fees for paper presenters will be the same regardless of whether they present in person or remotely.
Submission Instructions

Following the lead of other conferences in Graphics/HCI, we are using a multiple deadline model for GI. Papers can be submitted to one of two deadlines strategically placed by considering other graphics and HCI deadlines. While the first deadline is already decided, the exact date for the second deadline will be announced near the end of 2023:

First submission/review cycle:

Paper Deadline:Friday, December 16, 2022, 11:59 pm AoE
Papers assigned to IPC:Tuesday, December 20, 2021
Expert reviews due:Friday, January 13, 2023
Author Notification:Wednesday, January 18, 2023

Second submission/review cycle:

Paper deadline:End of March / Beginning of April
Papers assigned to IPC:tbd
Expert reviews due:tbd
Author Notification:tbd

Submitting to either of the deadlines is equivalent. The review process will be the same for each. The only differences are the submission deadline and notification dates. All accepted papers will be presented at the GI 2023 conference. The advantage of submitting to an earlier deadline is earlier author notification. Papers rejected from an earlier deadline can be significantly revised and resubmitted for the later deadline.

Submit your work in the format described in the Paper Formatting Instructions page to OpenReview at https://openreview.net/group?id=graphicsinterface.org/Graphics_Interface/2023/Conference
Review Process

GI 2023 will use OpenReview. This system, which has been used for GI since 2020, allows for increased transparency and accountability during peer review.

GI 2023 submissions will continue to be double-blind: authors will not know reviewers’ identities, and reviewers will not know authors’ identities.
Immediately upon submission, each paper will become available publicly and anonymously and time-stamped accordingly. This eliminates the need to post submissions simultaneously on ArXiv, and consequently authors are prohibited from deanonymizing their papers by posting them on ArXiv or elsewhere.
After the review period, all reviewers’ scores and comments will be simultaneously revealed publicly and anonymously for each submission. The author identities of each accepted submission will be revealed, whereas authors of rejected papers may decide to withdraw their submission if they do not wish to keep a de-anonymized and time-stamped public record of their submission.
