INTERACT is held every two years. The theme of INTERACT 2021 is “Sense, Feel, Design”,  highlighting new challenges of interaction design. Technology is today more and more widespread, pervasive and blended in the world we live in. On one side, devices that sense humans' activities have the potential to provide an enriched interaction. On the other side, the user experience can be further enhanced by exploiting multisensorial technologies. Not only the traditional human senses of vision and hearing, but also senses of touch, smell, and taste, as well as emotions are to be taken into account when designing for future interactions. INTERACT 2021 is the right venue to debate such new challenges. Another new topic of this edition is Human-AI Interaction, focusing on the design of human-centered intelligent systems. Conference proceedings are published in Springer LNCS series and are available in the Springer Digital Library. We invite you to submit your original work to INTERACT 2021 in the following tracks: Tracks with submission deadline *January 27th, 2021* - Full Papers (abstract due by January 20th, 2021) - Workshops Tracks with submission deadline *April 16th, 2021* - Short Papers - Posters - Interactive Demos - Courses - Doctoral Consortium - Industrial Experiences - Panels All contributions are peer reviewed, juried or curated by the members of the international program committee. INTERACT 2021 will be held in Bari, a beautiful city on the Adriatic coast of Southern Italy. The hotel Villa Romanazzi Carducci will host the conference. With its liberty-period villa immersed in a nice park characterized by a variety of trees along various pathways, this hotel provides a great context for welcoming the INTERACT participants.
