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 - Notifications: August 20, 2021 - Camera Ready deadline: September 10, 2021 - Conference: October 18-21, 2021 (virtual) Submitting format Up to 8 pages in ACM Primary Article Template, single column manuscript style (references excluded). Submissions are NOT anonymous.

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.
