About the CHCCS/SCDHM

Graphics Interface (GI) is an annual international conference devoted to computer graphics and human-computer interaction (HCI). With a graphics track and an HCI track having equal weights in the conference, GI offers a unique venue for a meeting of minds working on computer graphics and interactive techniques. GI is the longest running conference in the field (the first conference was held in 1969), consistently attracting high-quality submissions from graphics, HCI, as well as visualization.

The conference prides itself on high quality reviewing with all paper submissions and since 2004, accepted papers have been archived in the ACM Digital Library, while earlier years are available in the Graphics Interface Archive.

The Michael A. J. Sweeney Award is awarded at the conference to the best student papers in graphics and HCI. This award comes with a CHCCS sponsored $200 cash prize, and, in some years, an industry sponsored prize. 

GI features two invited keynote speakers, one from the area of graphics and the other from human-computer interaction. The conference includes a posters and demos session featuring late breaking research and work in progress with high potential. Best posters are selected for both HCI and graphics topics. Each set of winning poster co-authors receive a CHCCS sponsored $50 cash prize, or in some years an industry sponsored prize.

There are typically additional invited talks given by the winner(s) of the CHCCS Achievement Award and the Alain Fournier and Bill Buxton Ph.D. dissertation awards.

Graphics Interface is sponsored by the Canadian Human-Computer Communications Society (CHCCS/SCDHM)
