The Posters, Demos, and Artwork track of IndiaHCI 2025 welcomes students and professionals from various disciplines to collaborate in advancing Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) for positive social impact. The track is dedicated to promoting and featuring innovative early-stage research ideas, novel interactive prototypes and Proof of Concepts (PoCs), and creative artworks.

The track serves as a common platform for students, researchers, industry practitioners, artists, and art professionals to come together as an interdisciplinary community exploring the transforming interface and interaction between humans and technology, in line with the conference theme of Transhumanism in HCI—where technology elevates the human condition. The submissions will be evaluated for novelty, creativity and relevance towards the theme. The shortlisted works will be allowed to exhibit their tech demo or interactive arts installations along with their posters. Authors may kindly note that the submissions are not subject to publication in the proceedings.

Review Process and Certification

All submitted posters, demos, and artworks will be reviewed by the India HCI Posters and Demo chairs and the Reviewing Committee members based on their originality, relevance, potential impact and its feasibility at the venue. The track will follow a juried process and will not consist of a rebuttal phase. Thus, only the final decision will be communicated to the authors without individual reviews.

Authors of accepted submissions will receive further guidance regarding the exhibition of their posters/demos/artworks and logistical details. At Least one author will be required to register for the conference and participate in the conference to put up their work/poster at the conference venue. For demos, early access to the venue and technical setup will be arranged before the conference to ensure a smooth experience.

Anonymity

Poster /Demo submissions are not anonymous. Author names and institutions will be visible to the reviewing committee throughout the submission process.

Certification

The authors of the accepted works will be provided with a certificate of participation. The top three works will be acknowledged and certified. For each accepted work, at least one author will have to register for the conference and attend the conference, to demonstrate the work.

Any queries regarding the Posters, Demos, and ArtWork submission should be directed to the Track Chairs - Dr. Gowdham Prabhakar (gowdhampg@iitk.ac.in) / Dr. Pragma Kar (pragma@iiitd.ac.in)
