Content Requirements
The general requirements for all submissions is that they be:
- Interactive – Submissions should allow and encourage the viewer to actively interact with the data and visualizations, rather than passively viewing them after pushing “play”.
- Web-accessible – At a minimum, submissions should be accessible and usable via a computer-based, HTML5- and WebGL-compliant browser. Ideally, submissions are suitable for viewing on a modern smartphone or tablet.
- Informative – The visual content, narration, or annotations of the submissions should tell the story of how the data, computation, and/or visualization enhance research, decision-making, and/or public understanding.
Submission and Conference Presentation Details
The format for the exhibition at the conference in Boston (July 10-14, 2022) will also differ from past years:
- Chosen projects will be featured on a dedicated Web site available to attendees before, during, and after the conference.
- Each project will have a poster to advertise the work while also displaying a QR code for visitors to directly access the work.
- At least one member of the project team is required to be present during the Interact!/Posters session to encourage deeper interaction between viewers and content creators.
- Unlike past years, there will be no dedicated monitors for the showcase; visitors will be encouraged to bring their mobile phones or tablets in order to view and interact with each project. (Presenters are also encouraged to bring a laptop or tablet (rather than personal phone) to further promote the work.)
- Consistent with past years, submissions should be accompanied by a 1-2 page abstract with details of the work. . In lieu of a written abstract, submitters are asked to provide a poster describing the purpose of the work and the development process, along with a QR code to access the work online. This poster will be displayed in a special section of the poster gallery during the conference.
Submissions to PEARC Interact! should be made through the PEARC22 EasyChair site.
