Overview

Graphics Interface is the oldest continuously-scheduled conference in computer graphics and human-computer interaction. The conference dates back to 1969, when it was the “Canadian Man-Computer Communications Seminar”, changing its name in 1982 to Graphics Interface. This year is Graphics Interface’s 43rd year, and it takes place in Edmonton, Alberta from May 16th to 19th.

The program for Graphics Interface 2017 features 26 papers. We received 28 (HCI) + 24 (Graphics) submissions. Among these high-quality submissions, we were able to accept 14 papers from the HCI track (50%), and 12 papers from the Graphics track (50%).

The program committee comprised 29 experts from Graphics and HCI. Each paper was formally reviewed by two committee members, at least two external reviewers, and often received informal reviews from more. A fully double-blind reviewing process was used: the identity of the paper authors was known only to the program committee and to the primary committee member assigned to the submission. We thank the program committee and the external reviewers for ensuring rigor and integrity in the reviewing process.
