Media Experiences (IMX) focuses on challenges and innovations across diverse forms of media engagement and experience. 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, TV as well as multimodal content. We encourage authors to submit their novel research findings in analysing, developing, creating, installing, evaluating, critiquing or distributing interactive media experiences. Each accepted paper must have a unique conference registration in order to be included in the conference proceedings. Proceedings will be hosted in the ACM Digital Library.

This includes experiences harnessing new forms of media content (e.g. VR, AR, MR, XR, 360\u00b0, live-streaming, haptics, olfactory, gustation, etc.); those that are consumed in diverse ways including across multiple screens, platforms, modalities, and in immersive theatres; and those that arise from contemporary developments in AI. Application areas could 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. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-1771\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"2\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-1771\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Analysis of Audiences and their Interactions <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-1771\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6225598 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6225598\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9676aff elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9676aff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advances in content, platforms and devices are rapidly changing how audiences engage with media. We welcome 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, including ones inspired by psychophysics approaches. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, consumption trends and behaviours 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.
