https://chiplay.acm.org/2021/work-in-progress/
CHI PLAY is the international and interdisciplinary conference (by ACM SIGCHI) for researchers and professionals across all areas of play, games and human-computer interaction (HCI). This area is called “player-computer interaction”. CHI PLAY is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group for Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI).
Work-in-Progress contributions provide a unique opportunity for authors to present reports on original yet incomplete work that seeks to advance our current knowledge in games and play through innovative or thought-provoking ideas. We encourage submissions describing late-breaking advances and work-in-progress reports from ongoing research. Submissions are evaluated on the basis of originality, innovation and contribution to the diversity of the conference program.
Examples include:
- Original and innovative technologies, techniques, or prototypes, with or without an accompanying evaluation
- Qualitative or quantitative studies showing preliminary results
- “Sequels” to a prior research contribution
- “Prequels” to motivate or stimulate novel conversations or future work
- Theoretical or methodological contributions that provoke disciplinary conversations
Important Dates (all times are 23:59 Anywhere on Earth or AoE):
- Papers submission deadline: July 16, 2021

Submitting format
Up to 8 pages in ACM Primary Article Template, single column manuscript style (references excluded). Submissions are NOT anonymous.
Authors should submit manuscripts for review in a single column format, which is available for Word and LaTeX (use the “manuscript” call to create a single column format, rather than “acmsmall”).

Detailed instructions on formatting can be found at http://www.acm.org/publications/authors/submissions.

A pre-recorded video is only required upon acceptance and has to be submitted together with the camera-ready paper. For accessibility guidelines refer to
https://chiplay.acm.org/2021/video-guidelines-and-technical-requirements/

Review Process
Work in Progress submissions will be peer-reviewed, and evaluated on the basis of originality, innovation and contribution to conference program diversity.
Upon Acceptance
Authors will have three weeks to prepare a camera-ready version of the paper incorporating the feedback provided by reviewers as well as a pre-recorded video of their presentation. Authors will discuss their work in dedicated breakout rooms, where the author will be able to engage with the audience.
After the Conference
Work in Progress papers and the pre-recorded videos will be archived in the ACM Digital Library in the CHI PLAY 2021 Extended Abstracts.
