We invite videos related to all aspects of HRI. The videos must be self-explanatory for the audience. Besides the importance of the lessons learned, impact of content and the novelty of the situation, the entertainment value will be judged. The videos will be peer-reviewed based on these criteria. Accepted videos will be published in the conference proceedings and archived in the ACM Digital Library.
Guidelines and Requirements
- Video content is expected to be high quality and to have human voice overs for explanations of the content. Text-to-speech and captions are highly discouraged for submission and may impact acceptance of the video.
- Video content should be self-contained and self-explanatory. There will be no live narration or in-person introduction when videos are presented in the session.
- Video content should not contain advertisements or be heavily promotional in nature.
- Submission files that are finalized, need to be ready to be played as-is, without revision, at the conference.
- Do not anonymize the videos for review.
- Videos should not exceed 3 minutes in length. Titles and credits are recommended to last less than 3 seconds each.
- The submitted video files cannot exceed 70MB in size.
- Our recommended video format is the .MP4 container format using the H264 codec (main or high profile) for the video track and the AAC codec for audio tracks. Submissions in .AVI, .MOV, or .MKV containers (possibly using other codecs) will also be considered.
- Authors should verify that their submission is viewable using a recent version of VLC media player (cross-platform). Ideally, the submitted file will play on computers with recent Linux, OSX, or Windows operating systems without requiring third party codecs to be installed.
- Videos should have the aspect ratio correctly set (i.e. playing them should not require user interaction to avoid stretching).
- Check that audio and video tracks play synchronously if relevant for the submission.
- Do not use Digital Rights Management (DRM) on your video file submission.
- Start the video filename with the lead author’s last name.
- Videos will be presented on a projected screen. Please use a horizontal resolution of at least 640 pixels. We recommend that you use the maximum resolution permitted within the file size restrictions (please do not exceed 2048 × 1080).
- ACM requires video authors to sign a release granting permission to use the video content for the HRI conference. Copyright of the video remains with the author. Video authors are responsible for obtaining permission for any third party copyrighted material (music, video, images, etc.) in the video. Such content should not be included unless permission has been obtained prior to submission.
Submission instructions
Please submit your videos through the submission review website. The submission deadline is extended to December 14, 2015. The maximum number of pages is one (1) for video content abstrct. MS Word and LaTeX2e templates are now available. Authors should review the HRI guidelines for anonymizing submissions while preparing their submissions. The anonymizing of submission for videos is optional. We recognize that your videos may impact your ability to anonymize your submission. It is up to the authors if they wish to anonymize their video submissions.
