Workshop Motivation and Topics
==============================
Multimedia experiences allow us to access other worlds, to live other
people's stories, to communicate with or experience alternate realities.
Different spaces, times or situations can be entered thanks to
multimedia contents and systems, which coexist with our current reality,
and are sometimes so vivid and engaging that we feel we are living in
them. Advances in multimedia are making it possible to create immersive
experiences that may involve the user in a different or augmented world,
as an alternate reality.
AltMM 2018, the 3rd International Workshop on Multimedia Alternate
Realities at ACM Multimedia, aims at exploring how the synergy between
multimedia technologies can foster the creation of alternate realities
and make their access an enriching and valuable experience. The workshop
program will contain a combination of oral and invited keynote
presentations, and poster, demo and discussion sessions, altogether
enabling interactive scientific sharing and discussion between
practitioners and researchers.
We seek contributions that present multimedia technologies, methods and
measurement approaches from the perspective of "enabling other
realities". In particular, prospective contributions must address one or
more of the following dimensions when characterizing the type of
multimedia alternate reality that they are aiming for:
* Alternate: refers to what is alternate about it (different space,
time, situation, and so on)
* Virtual/Augmented: how far or close to the actual reality content can
be experienced, ranging from totally virtual to augmented reality (VR/AR)
* Real/Fictional: how real or fictional the content is
* Interactive: the level of interactivity as a means of engagement and
immersion
* Immersive: level in perceptual, cognitive and emotional terms, the
sense of presence and belonging, the quality of the content and the
experience, imagination and engagement
* Multisensorial: the media involved and how much mulsemedia it is, also
going beyond audiovisual content to include the five senses
* Personal: adaptation to individual preferences and contexts
* Social: individualized vs shared experiences and communication
Contributions should aim at enabling alternate realities experiences
through multimedia technologies, design and evaluation methods for their
creation and consumption. This involves the use of different types of
media content (audiovisual, haptic, smell, and taste), increased
immersion (e.g., 3D, holographic, UHD, 360-degree, and stereoscopic
audio), new interaction devices, environments, modalities, and formats.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
# Creation and Consumption of Alternate Realities
- capturing and sensing
- content production and authoring, interactive storytelling, digital
narratives, cinema and TV
- crowdsourcing and co-creation
- delivery, rendering, and consumption paradigms, co-experience and
communication
- personalization, post-processing, enhancement and real-time adaptation
# Design and Evaluation of Alternate Realities Experience
- assessment and prediction of engagement, immersion and flow
- experience evaluation through analysis of quantitative (e.g.
physiological data, self reports) and qualitative data (e.g.
observations, in-depth interviews)
- measurements and metrics to quantify the quality of alternate reality
experiences - field trial reports and user studies
# Alternate Realities Applications
- from more traditional to innovative applications, e.g. based on
multi‐device and multisensory shared content consumption, in
asynchronous or live scenarios - in domains like personal media,
culture, tourism, art, education, entertainment, manufacturing,
training, health and wellbeing, etc.
Paper Submission
================
AltMM 2018 welcomes submissions of full papers (max 6 pages), as well as
short papers (max 4 pages) that report work‐in‐progress, presenting new,
unpublished, original research. Accompanying demonstrations or videos
are very welcome and highly appreciated.
All submissions must be written in English and formatted according to
the ACM Proceedings style (templates in the submission page), and they
must contain no information identifying the author(s) or their
organization(s).
Review Process
==============
Reviews will be double-blind. Papers will be judged on their relevance,
originality, technical content and correctness, and clarity of
presentation.
Publication
===========
The workshop proceedings will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
Further, a Special Issue of a Top Ranked Multimedia Journal related to
the workshop series is being planned.
