--------------------------------------------------------------------------- POSTER PAPERS
The AVI 2026 Poster Track is dedicated to showcasing work-in-progress that pushes the boundaries of Advanced Visual Interfaces and Human-Computer Interaction.
We especially welcome posters that explore creativity through a critical lens, addressing its complex dimensions of agency, interfaces, and ethics.
This track offers a valuable opportunity to obtain precious feedback from peers and experts in an engaging, informal setting. Submissions must describe original (though not yet fully completed) research.
See AVI 2026 themes and topics: https://www.unive.it/web/en/16532/topics
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES AND DEMO PAPERS
The interactive experiences and demo track is intended to provide a forum to showcase interactive installations, innovative implementations, systems, and technologies demonstrating new ideas about creativity, in relation to AVI themes and topics, and reaching out to novel communities.
Interactive experiences are expected primarily from musicians, designers and artists.
Demo submissions should be more technical, typically originating from Computer Engineering or Computer Science fields. See AVI 2026 themes and topics: https://www.unive.it/web/en/16532/topics

**Important note to authors about ACM’s new open access publishing model**
ACM has introduced a new open access publishing model for the ICPS Series. Authors based at institutions that are not yet part of the ACM Open program and do not qualify for a full geographic waiver will be required to pay an article processing charge (APC) to publish their ICPS article in the ACM Digital Library. To determine whether or not an APC will be applicable to your article, please follow the detailed guidance here: https://www.acm.org/publications/icps/author-guidance.
Further information may be found on the ACM website, as follows:
