Papers
The ACM SIGCHI Conference on Tangible Embedded, Embodied Interaction attracts an interdisciplinary audience from HCI, engineering, design and the arts . We value diversity and aim to learn from other perspectives. A distinguishing feature of TEI is a single paper submission track for the standard archived papers, which may have any length between 2, 4 or 8 pages and are reviewed using the same criteria, independently of how they are presented at the conference—as short or long talks, interactive demonstrations, or posters.
This year we received 203 submissions (the highest number of submissions in the TEI history) and accepted a total of 65 papers, an acceptance rate of 32%. The list of accepted submissions is presented below. Sessions 1 to 8 will be presented as talks while sessions 9-12 will be presented as demos and posters.
