The aim is to provoke and promote discussion and the sharing of exciting ideas amongst researchers, industry practitioners and the academic community in all forms of media: VR, AR, MR, XR, 360\u00b0, live-streaming, online media content, authoring and production, as well as TV. We encourage authors to submit their novel research findings in analyzing, developing, creating, installing, evaluating, critiquing or distributing interactive media experiences. Possible topics of interest include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Understanding audience interests and their related interaction with content.<\/li><li>Developing new content forms and formats and media\/video\u2011centric experiences.<\/li><li>Analyzing and developing underlying technologies and systems.<\/li><li>Critiquing and creating production tools and workflows.<\/li><li>Exploring the use and implications of AI and machine learning (e.g. in social media, media analytics, etc\u2026).<\/li><li>Developing innovative business models and marketing techniques in relation to multimedia experiences.<\/li><li>Understanding wider social and cultural contexts of multimedia experiences.<\/li><li>Designing and showcasing experimental media interactive art experiences.<\/li><li>Exploring cultural, artistic, and creative experiences through interactive multimedia (e.g. performance &amp; opera, digital humanities, etc.).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #e63095;\"><strong>Audience understanding<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This topic focuses on advances in audience engagement with media content as a rapidly evolving activity across diverse platforms, devices, and timeframes. It welcomes contributions that seek to understand audiences using a rich variety of analytic approaches including sensing audiences, sentiment analysis, and measuring and monitoring quality of experience. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, consumption trends and behaviors in young audiences, sharing practices and communication strategies, identifying engagement patterns across diverse genres, platforms and demographics, scheduled versus on-demand content consumption, binge viewing, and multi-platform engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #e63095;\"><strong>Immersive and interactive content and experiences<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This topic is suitable for papers where the primary contribution is the introduction of novel ways of experiencing interactive media content. This includes new forms of media content (e.g. VR, AR, MR, XR, 360\u00b0, live-streaming, etc.) consumed in diverse ways including across multiple screens, platforms, and in immersive theatres. Application areas include entertainment and information including interactive and generative documentaries, transmedia storytelling, volumetric filmmaking, live performance broadcasts and object-based media productions. Papers in other application areas, such as education, healthcare, wellbeing and governance and decision-making, are also welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #e63095;\"><strong>Technologies, systems, and interfaces<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This topic focuses on technologies, systems, and interfaces that improve and advance our interactions with media content online, at home, or on the move.
