Very Important: The authors can present more than one contribution with only one registration (maximum 3 works).

All contributions should be of high quality, originality, clarity, significance, impact and not published elsewhere or submitted for publication during the review period. 

Our main goal is to create a real space for the constructive debate and interchange of theoretical ideas, practical aspects, experiment results, conclusions, learned lessons and very specially the future lines of research. The great areas are HCI, Augmented Reality, Education (e-learning, virtual university, etc.), and new technologies (ICTs), which will be presented next, and broken down in accordance to the division of the topics. Finally, the current listing (alphabetical order) doesn’t mean that other issues of general or particular interest are excluded currently, or in coming editions of the event. In other words, the authors are free to present other topics which may enrich the content of the conference. 

All submitted works will be reviewed by a double-blind (at least three reviewers), non-blind, and participative peer review. These three kinds of review will support the selection process of those that will be accepted for their presentation at the international conference. Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their research works/papers, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their contributions.

Important Dates and Information

It is a way to speed up the process to make up the final program of the international conference, visa requirements, should plan travel well in advance, etc. In other words, it is not necessary to wait until the deadline to send them for the evaluation process.

For more information about the role of the EiC, see ACM's Evaluation Criteria for Editors-in-Chief.

Nominations should include a vita along with a brief statement of why the nominee should be considered.

Besides Tokyo being an excellent location, SIGGRAPH Asia has significantly grown in the last couple of years and it has now become a must-attend addition to the calendars of many in the region.
