Submission Guidelines for ISMAR Poster Papers
Note: The Poster Paper deadline is June 20, 2022 (23:59 AoE). A complete poster paper submission including paper and supplementary files should be made before this deadline.
Note: All conference paper submissions, as well as Poster Papers should be formatted as ISMAR Conference Proceedings papers. ISMAR uses a DOUBLE-BLIND review process. This means that both the authors and the reviewers must remain anonymous to each other. Submissions (including citations and optional videos) must not contain information that identifies the authors, their institutions, funding sources, or their places of work. Relevant previous work by the authors must be cited in the third person to preserve anonymity.
All submissions must be done electronically. Note that the use of a teaser image in papers is encouraged.
Do not hesitate to contact us for any further information.

- In the USA, it is spelled ‘acknowledgments’, without the ‘e’ after the ‘g’. Since the IEEE is a USA based society, we would recommend having it spelled ‘acknowledgments’ and have done that in our template. However, for the rest of the world, we will not correct it in conference papers – we also allow the spelling ‘acknowledgements’ with an ‘e’ after the ‘g’.
