Call for submissions 

Deadline is midnight UTC June 17th, 2014 

The increased power, portability, and ubiquitous connectivity of 

mobile devices are causing a fundamental shift in how we interact with 

digital content. The graphics and interactivity that once was only 

possible with desktop computers is now in the palm of the hand, and 

can be experienced almost anywhere. Increasingly sophisticated 

development environments, easy market access through application 

stores, and widespread device availability are creating new 

opportunities for a wide range of developers to participate in a 

global market growing to more than $35 billion annually. 

The Symposium on Mobile Graphics and Interactive Applications at 

SIGGRAPH Asia 2014 is a venue for both industry and academia to 

explore the opportunities and challenges of mobile applications 

relevant to the global graphics community. The program aims to cover 

the development, technology, and marketing of mobile graphics and 

interactive applications. It will especially highlight novel uses of 

graphics and interactivity on mobile devices. 

Attendees can expect to be exposed to the latest in mobile graphics 

and interactive applications through expert keynote talks, paper 

presentations, panel discussions, industry case studies, and hands-on 

demonstrations. 

At this year's program, we call for participation in the following 

five categories: 

* Presentations: A focused presentation on a specific novel topic 

related to interesting mobile applications and scenarios 

* Industry Cases: A talk focused on applied industry scenarios, from 

technical to production and marketing cases 

* Demonstrations: Live demonstrations of new mobile technology and applications 

* Panels: A multi-speaker presentation and discussion on a particular area 

* Tutorials: A hands-on, how-to session for current mobile 

technologies and tools 

We are seeking submissions on the following topics: 

* Mobile gaming 

* Mobile social networking 

* Mobile user interfaces and interactivity techniques 

* Marketing of applications and leveraging app stores 

* Building a mobile applications business 

* Mobile cameras and image processing 

* Mobile location-based services 

* Use of GPU hardware in mobile computing 

* Augmented reality on mobile platforms 

* Cross-platform application development tools and standards 

* Innovative use of mobile sensors 

* Visualization on mobile devices 

* Industry case study of bringing a product to market 

We also welcome submissions from other areas that are relevant to 

Mobile Graphics and Interactive Applications. 

Contributors will be able to present their work in one of the following formats: 

* Presentations: A 20-minute talk by a single speaker 

* Industry Cases: A 20-minute talk by up to two speakers 

* Demonstrations: A two-hour hands-on demo session
