============================================================

The ACM Symposium on Applied Perception (ACM SAP) aims to advance and 
promote research that crosses the boundaries between perception and 
disciplines such as graphics, visualization, computer vision, haptics 
and acoustics. These fields can benefit from the exchange of ideas. The 
scope of the conference includes applications and algorithms in any area 
of research that incorporates elements of perception and computer science.

Our thirteenth annual event provides an intimate, immersive forum for 
exchanging ideas about areas of overlapping interests. The ACM SAP 2016 
conference will be held in Anaheim, California on July 22nd and 23rd, 
immediately prior to the 43rd International Conference and Exhibition on 
Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (SIGGRAPH). We aim to 
further promote communication between the core perception and computer 
graphics communities.

We invite submissions of original work in all areas of applied 
perception. Relevant areas include:

   - Modeling, rendering, and animation
   - Visualization
   - Computational aesthetics
   - Haptic rendering, haptic input and perception
   - Perception of virtual characters
   - Color vision and color appearance modeling
   - Perception of high dynamic range scenes and images
   - Interaction techniques and interfaces
   - Augmented reality
   - Virtual worlds
   - Display technologies
   - Auditory display and interfaces
   - Perceptual auditory coding
   - Spatialized sound
   - Speech synthesis and recognition
   - Sensory integration
   - Multimodal rendering
   - Spatial and temporal vision
   - Attention and eye movements
   - Statistical learning and perception of natural scenes
   - Perception of shapes, surfaces, and materials

PAPERS
Research can be submitted as a long paper (up to 8 pages and up to 20 
minute talk), a short paper (up to 4 pages and up to 15 minute talk), or 
as a poster presentation (1 page abstract). Papers that are not accepted 
will be considered for the poster session. Authors of posters accepted 
by this route will, of course, have the option to decline the 
opportunity to present a poster. Please check the formatting guidelines 
before submitting your work.

POSTERS
A poster presentation is an opportunity for authors to display and 
discuss achievements that are not ready for publication or have not been 
published previously. The poster session is always an integral part of 
SAP with specific time allotted for participants to view and discuss the 
work. All poster presenters will have the opportunity to give a 
one-minute description of their work during a poster fast-forward 
session. Poster presentations are not formal publications. We encourage 
all types of scholarly poster submissions that fit the scope of ACM-SAP. 
Poster abstracts should follow the ACM SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines 
for papers, except that they should be 1 page long.

FURTHER DETAILS
All papers will be carefully reviewed by our International Program 
Committee. Papers will be evaluated as submitted, given limited time 
between submission and printing of final versions. Under a recent 
agreement with the ACM Transactions on Applied Perception (TAP) and the 
ACM Publications Board, the strongest accepted papers will be offered 
publication as full papers in the ACM journal TAP. These papers will 
undergo a second review cycle, during which the authors will revise the 
paper to address concerns posed in the summary review (similar to 
conditional acceptances at ACM SIGGRAPH). Authors of such special issue 
papers must agree to present the paper at ACM SAP. As has always been 
the case, authors of regular ACM SAP papers can still submit to TAP 
regular issues with appropriate additions.
