Technical Papers are a conventional academic papers. The authors are requested to give their oral presentations at the conference.

Regardless of your topic, you must describe your project in a scholarly manner. If your research could be an interactive system, we strongly recommend you to submit your system to not only papers but also demos.

Art Papers

Art Papers are more artistically-oriented papers than Technical Papers. You can present any type of artwork, as long as digital technologies are used in it. If you produced a cutting-edge digital art such as a computer animation and an interactive art, Art Papers would be a great showcase at an oral presentation. You can share your ideas between hundreds of artists and researchers, and it may evoke a synergistic effect in the Asian digital art community. You should describe an artistic motivation, a background of your artwork, and how digital technologies are involved in your work, and so on. If your research could be an interactive system, we strongly recommend you to submit your system to not only papers but also demos.

Poster Papers

We believe this opportunity will be a great help to advance your work. Please use same paper format with Technical Paper. Once your submission is accepted, we will ask you to prepare your poster to be re-formated in A1(594mmx841mm) size.
