**********************************************************************************************
This one-day workshop will offer an interdisciplinary forum of discussion for both academics and practitioners interested in research on designing experiences that align rich data from multiple human senses.

The workshop focuses on putting the following multisensory media topics in an actualised context:
– An understanding of how digital content can be enriched with multisensory features in different phases of the production-distribution-rendering workflow.
– The exploration of various opportunities that provide designers and developers with the means for creating meaningful multisensory experiences by making use of a wide spectrum of sensory experiences.
– An overview of different application areas and interaction scenarios that can benefit from multisensory stimulation.

**********************************************************************************************
Submission Process

We invite researchers and practitioners from academia, arts, and industry to submit a 1-4 page short paper or project statement (including references) following the ACM Master Article Submission Template single-column format via the submission portal on EasyChair. The submission deadline is March 19th, 2021.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
– Multisensory Experiences QoE evaluation (subjective, objective, online vs offline)
– Human Factors (including user modelling) in Multisensory Experiences
– Application areas for Multisensory Experiences (Health, Education, Arts, Tourism, e-Commerce, etc.)
– Multisensory Experiences Standardization
– Multisensory Experiences in Augmented and Virtual Reality
– Cross-layer Mulsemedia design for Multisensory Experiences
– Multisensory Experiences datasets/databases

All submissions will be reviewed by the workshop organisers based on the paper’s quality, novelty and the potential for contributing to discussions. Applicants will be notified of decisions on April 23rd, 2021. Upon acceptance, participants are asked to produce a 10-minute presentation video, which will also be shared publicly on the workshop website. At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop.
