GI 2027

Call for papers

We invite submissions covering all aspects of computer graphics, information visualization, and HCI. Research at the intersections of these areas, as well as intersections with computer vision, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, are encouraged. Accepted papers will be part of the Graphics Interface Proceedings archived in the ACM Digital Library, there are no publication fees. The Michael A. J. Sweeney Award will be awarded to the best student papers in computer graphics and HCI at the conference.

Sincerely, Daniel, Hamid, and Lesley

Deadlines

GI is returning to a single review cycle, with the follow deadlines (all deadlines 11:59 pm AoE): 

Submission Deadline: February 5, 2027 

  • Reviews Released: March 23, 2027 
  • Revisions Due: April 16, 2027 

Final Decisions: April 30, 2027 

Camera-ready Due: May 14, 2027 

Submission and Review Process

Submissions are made using the Precision Conference System (PCS). Authors may submit and edit their materials and metadata in PCS until the deadline. The PCS site will open later this fall which we will announce on our website and appropriate channels. 

Submissions are single-blind, meaning submissions are not anonymized (authors and institutions are shown) but reviewer identities are not known. The rationale is that reviewers can properly assess conflicts of interest, while protecting reviewer anonymity to encourage honest feedback. All submissions will be reviewed by at least three reviewers.  

Preparing Your Submission 

Papers can be of any page length (though a length between 6 to 8 double column pages not including references is common). Length is expected to be commensurate with the size of the contribution; a very short or very long paper is more likely to be rejected.  

For your submission, please follow the ACM proceedings-template Guidelines. There you will find detailed instructions along with LaTex and word templates for generating PDF files. For GI, we use a two-column “sigconf” layout: 

For LaTeX authors, submissions should use the double-column format using \documentclass[sigconf, screen]{acmart}. 

For Word authors, submissions should use the double-column format template called interim-layout.docx. 

You are also encouraged to submit supporting files, such as videos, source code, and data. Uploaded videos should be encoded in a high quality format (e.g., MPEG-4) that works across as many platforms as possible without the installation of additional codecs.  

Please note that your total submission size cannot exceed 100.0 MB, including your submission document and any additional material. If you cannot comply with this limit, please contact one of the paper chairs at papers2027@graphicsinterface.org. 

Please note, a paper’s team of authors is expected to be available for at least 3 review requests to maintain a sustainable conference community. 

Paper Presentations

At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference at the non-student attendee rate and attend in person to present. Note GI 2027 has no hybrid or remote attendance. However, authors who are unable to travel due to visa or health issues may request to submit a pre-recorded and captioned video that will be made available for attendees to watch. 

Each paper presentation session will have two parts. The first part consists of paper presentations: each author will have between 5 and 10 minutes to present (TBD). The second part is a mini poster session held immediately after the session. Each author can bring a poster to mount at a designated location in or near the presentation room (maximum dimensions TBA). The presenter will then stand by their poster after their paper session for more direct and personal discussions with attendees. 

Other presentation info that may be useful: 

  • Presenters will be given a podium microphone and screens to project a presentation with various connectivity options. Presenters should plan to use their own laptop and should not assume power is on stage. 
  • If you don’t have a poster for the mini poster session after the paper session, we will provide a paper with the title and first page of your paper.
