Throughout more than two decades, the Conference has attracted leading researchers of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) from all over the world, offering a forum to present and disseminate new technological results, new paradigms, new visions for HCI and user interfaces. Because of advanced technology and new possibilities for user interaction, AVI has broadened the topics it covers, still keeping its main focus on the conception, design, implementation and evaluation of novel visual interfaces. While rooted in Italy, AVI is a true international conference with respect to nationality of participants, authors of papers and program committee members. The mixture of carefully selected research contributions paired with cordial Italian hospitality creates a unique conference atmosphere, which has made AVI an internationally recognized brand. TOPICS The topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following ones: Adaptive and Context-Aware Interfaces Full-body Interaction Information Visualization Interaction Design Tools Interface Metaphors Interfaces for Big Data Interfaces for e-Commerce and e-Branding Interfaces for e-Culture and e-Tourism Interfaces for End-User Development Interfaces for i-TV Interfaces for Recommender Systems Interfaces for Social Interaction and Cooperation Mobile Interaction Motion-based Interaction Multimodal Interfaces (Multi)Sensory Interfaces (Multi)Touch Interaction Search Interfaces User Interfaces for the Internet of Things Usability and Accessibility Virtual and Augmented Reality Visual Analytics Visual Databases Web Interfaces FULL AND SHORT RESEARCH PAPERS Full and Short papers are archival publications that address AVI 2016 topics and describe original unpublished research.
