Posters and Demos
We are excited to announce the selected case studies and workshops for the Industry Track. Please note that the workshops have limited seats. Please register at the earliest to grab your spot through the registration portal.
The Posters and Demos track at the India HCI 2026 invites students, researchers, practitioners, designers, artists, and interdisciplinary teams to present emerging ideas, interactive systems, exploratory research, and creative technology experiences in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).
The theme of India HCI 2026, Designing for Dignity: Inclusive, Accessible, and Respectful Futures in HCI, encourages submissions that explore how technologies can support inclusion, accessibility, agency, care, equity, wellbeing, and respectful interaction across diverse contexts and communities. The track also welcomes critical and reflective perspectives on the role of technology in shaping human experiences and futures.
The track aims to provide a platform for showcasing, but not limited to:
Early-stage research
Speculative concepts
Proof-of-concept systems
Interactive experiences,
Artistic explorations, and
Technology demonstrations.
The track encourages interdisciplinary participation and dialogue across academia, industry, design practice, arts, and emerging technologies.
Submissions will be evaluated based on originality, relevance, creativity, clarity, and potential impact. Selected works will be presented during the conference as posters and/or live demonstrations.
Important Dates:
All times are in Anywhere on Earth (AoE) time zone. You can check your local time in AoE .
