Posters provide an interactive forum in which authors can present their work to conference attendees during special poster sessions. Posters are an opportunity to describe new work or work that is still in progress, and work that is already presented in other venues but to share more with the UIST community.
Posters are non-archival, and will be more lightly reviewed (curated) than papers.

Demonstrations show early implementations of novel and compelling interaction concepts, techniques, devices and systems. Demonstrations should be brief, and robust enough to be shown repeatedly. We particularly encourage highly interactive demos— from novel web systems and prototype devices, to new materials, physical outputs, and large interactive installations. Demos are one of the highlights of the UIST conference.
All demo submissions go through a rigorous curation process. Demo chairs will announce recommendations for presentation formats and logistics and provide early access for technical setup before the conference. For questions please email the Demo chairs: demos2022@uist.org.

The UIST Doctoral Symposium provides a unique opportunity for Ph.D. students to interact with established academic and industry researchers in the UIST community. Students can receive both feedback on technical aspects of their research as well as mentoring about different career options. The range of topics appropriate for the Doctoral Symposium is the same as the topics covered in the UIST Technical Papers program. Participants will be selected based on their anticipated contributions to the breadth and depth of the intellectual discussions at the Symposium. The Doctoral Symposium will be held in-person on Saturday, October 29, 2022 in Bend, OR at the conference venue. There will also be a dinner for all panelists and student attendees of the Symposium.

In the UIST Student Innovation Contest (aka the "SIC"), we explore how novel input, interaction, actuation, and output technologies can augment interactive experiences! This year, in partnership with UCL we are seeking students who will push the boundaries of input and output techniques with the ultrasound haptics/levitation toolkit. Join the UIST SIC team and turn your ideas into reality! Meet amazing people! Win fabulous prizes! You can apply here: https://forms.gle/cSgRyiVLQ114Lnp3A.
The UIST SIC is your opportunity to shine and impress the world with your creative ideas! Participants will demo their work during the conference program, and contest winners will be announced during the conference. A jury composed of senior UIST community members will select one team to receive the SIC jury award. On top of that, conference attendees will get a chance to vote for their favorite teams in the People's Choice category. All categories receive prizes.
We will give away the hardware to all selected teams! This is made possible through our generous sponsor University College London! Thank you!
This year’s hardware consists of:
The boards provide state of the art control of acoustic fields, allowing transparent delivery of 10K updates per second and capable of levitation (particles, LeviProps and PoV shapes), haptics and parametric audio, as well as multimodal combinations of such types of content. Details related to device control and acoustic solvers are encapsulated into a high-level engine (with C++ and Unity/C# APIs), meaning that you only need to worry about the types of contents that you want to create, their animations and transitions.
Documentation and tutorials are available, as to help you explore the types of contents you can create, and to get you started inventing your own. The kit also includes design files for you to create a frame holding the boards in a conventional top-bottom setup (recommended for levitation-heavy applications and used in our tutorials). However, the software provides flexibility in case you want to arrange them differently (e.g., side-by-side, one board facing each user). Also, the contents delivered by the boards can be combined with other external props to create truly playful and magical experiences.
The teams would require access to the following equipment, in order to use the kit:
To assist the students to develop their applications, we SIC chairs, as well as the developers of the API and hardware from UCL, will provide technical support if they have any questions.
Your goal is to design and implement a new interactive system using the ultrasound platform we will provide to you and combining it with any other prototyping materials you have available. To successfully address this challenge, you need to figure out what task(s) you want your system to support, and what interaction(s) you want your system to enable. Your system should motivate the use case and articulate a clear set of assumptions on how it will be beneficial for users. Finally, your system does not have to be limited to one user— ideas that involve well executed, multi-user, simultaneous interactions are often crowd favourites at UIST! You will submit a video of your project demo by October 25th, and demonstrate your idea live at the in-person UIST event in October 29th - November 2nd. Your video will be uploaded and shared at the official ACM SIGCHI YouTube channel (e.g., see UIST 2021 SIC videos)
You can build and design your system in a multitude of configurations, which affords the exploration of numerous design primitives. The main constraints are that you make use of the ultrasound platform and provide a way for users to meaningfully interact with the system. With these constraints in mind, you can tackle one or more application areas. Here, we list some of the example application areas and corresponding existing works for inspiration:
(From top left: Volumetric Display using Acoustic Trapping, LeviProps, High-speed Acoustic Holography, Luciora, ArituLev, Mouth Haptics, Mid-air Ballon Interface, LipNotif, PixieDust)
Note that these are just examples of areas and scenarios where your system can have a positive impact on society. Feel free to explore more.
One of the students of each team will receive the ultrasound set. You will have access to example code to help you get started with the hardware. Teams are encouraged to open source their efforts, and even build on each other’s work. To get you moving fast, we will also provide, on top of all the hardware, a list of tutorials and mentoring sessions to ensure you have everything you need to make your vision a reality!
To participate, follow the instructions on this form: https://forms.gle/cSgRyiVLQ114Lnp3A.
To complete your submission, you’ll need:
For accepted teams, one of your team members MUST register for the UIST conference and pay the registration fee. If you’ve been accepted as a student volunteer, you can let us know as well.
Innovation comes in many forms. At UIST, we provide Student Innovation Contest awards for the following categories: Jury Award and People's Choice (Attendee Votes). All teams get to keep the hardware kits. Winners will win prizes and a UIST SIC certificate. Note that we reserve the right to change the awards structure during the contest.

Back for its fifth year, UIST Visions is a venue for forward thinking ideas to inspire the community. The goal is not to report research but to propose new research directions. We want to project the UIST community as thought leaders in HCI technology. A maximum of 2 speakers will be invited and the review will be based on how interesting and provocative the ideas are. The author should aim to start a meaningful and well-informed discussion about future directions for computer-human interfaces. Appropriate issues might be: future trends, foundational technologies that we need to make progress on, significant, compelling problems that the community might address, something that is missing, or an alternative perspective on what we do.

Due to last year’s great success, we will continue the Lightning Talks by providing first-time UISTers, young researchers and professionals the opportunity to show a video of a 60 seconds lightning talk at the beginning of assigned paper sessions. As part of the main program of UIST, the lightning talks will receive strong visibility, making them a great opportunity to connect with others at UIST. The lightning talks should briefly introduce the attendee, their research interest and can serve as an opportunity to look for internship positions, finding a PhD advisor or simply to get to know more people.
The target user group includes but is not limited to:
We will assign the lightning talk to a set of paper sessions that fit the submitter's research interest (e.g. a student interested in VR/AR will be assigned to a VR/AR related session). We highly motivate participants to be present in the corresponding session if other attendees want to get in contact. Only UIST attendees are eligible to submit a lightning talk video.
Additionally, we will make all videos available on the UIST website including contact information.

Similar to last year, we are inviting the UIST community to submit proposals for organizing an Ask-Me-Anything (AMA) session. AMAs are a great way to provoke discussion around research-related topics, share experience about career development in academia and industry, or hear different opinions about how the field should move forward in regards to diversity and inclusiveness. Great AMA sessions raise questions, provoke discussions, and are controversial and innovative.
Topics for AMA sessions include, but are not limited to:
While we do not have a fixed format for these sessions, below are some suggestions as to how they may be structured:
We ask organizer(s) to propose their ideas for the format of their AMA session being both innovative but also reasonable to the resources the conference can provide. We can provide an official slot in the UIST schedule, together with a room for your talk. Additionally, student volunteers will be able to help out during the session if needed.
For any questions, please contact the Social Event Chairs (social2022@uist.org).

To apply to be an SV go to https://new.chisv.org/conference/uist2022 and submit the questionnaire. The deadline and notification dates are listed above.
Being an SV will give you a chance to attend the premier forum for innovations in human-computer interfaces and network with the leaders in the field! At its core, the student volunteer experience is about making connections, both with your fellow volunteers and with more senior researchers. Whether it’s helping out with Q&A after a talk for a researcher you look up to, working on a task directly with members of the organizing committee, or even helping someone check-in while working at the registration desk, there are so many opportunities to make connections that can have a true impact on your career. Not to mention the free conference registration and SV T-shirt!
We are happy to report that we plan on continuing the "rockstar" Q&A sessions with senior researchers; these will most likely be held virtually the week following the conference.
If you are a UIST Student Volunteer, you get:
Our goal is to make sure SVs can attend the sessions that they are interested in. In 2020 and 2021 we had around 40 SVs who worked approximately 6 hours each.
SVs will do a mix of tasks before and during the conference. Any hours spent doing pre-conference tasks will count towards your total SV hours. Some pre-conference tasks may need to be done several weeks before the conference begins; please indicate your availability to do pre-conference tasks on the lottery questionnaire and we will try to accommodate everyone’s preferences as best as possible.
UIST 2022 is intended to be an in-person conference with some virtual elements (see https://uist.acm.org/uist2022/attending.html#hybridization). Most SV tasks will be in person, but SVs may still be needed to facilitate virtual elements. There will be a small number of remote SV positions available for people who cannot attend UIST in person but would still like to participate online; these SVs will either be assigned pre-conference tasks or other tasks that can be done remotely.
Thanks so much for applying! We look forward to seeing you at UIST 2022!!
