Visit to Mont Saint-Michel is planned on Saturday Nov. 18, but not included in registration fees. We plan to help you organizing a visit to the Mont Saint Michel. The visit will be at your cost, Mont Saint Michel is 1 hour drive from Rennes, our goal is to form a group for the visit, and to see whether we are enough to organize transportation, food and commented visit. We will propose a solution anyway, and will let you know about the cost before you confirm your participation. For you to get an idea about the cost, the Mont Saint Michel can be reached by public transport (bus from Rennes) for 30 euros (two-ways), the visit of the abbey is 11 euros. If we organize a commented tour and private transportation, the cost will be increased of course. If you are interested, please answer this form: https://forms.gle/V6uNMpRhVAbCDgZh8 !
Motion plays a crucial role in interactive applications, such as VR, AR, and video games. Characters move around, objects are manipulated or move due to physical constraints, entities are animated, and the camera moves through the scene. Motion is currently studied in many different research areas, including graphics and animation, game technology, robotics, simulation, computer vision, and also physics, psychology, and urban studies. Cross-fertilization between these communities can considerably advance the state-of-the-art in the area.
The goal of the Motion, Interaction and Games conference is to bring together researchers from this variety of fields to present their most recent results, to initiate collaborations, and to contribute to the establishment of the research area. The conference will consist of regular paper sessions, poster presentations, and as well as presentations by a selection of internationally renowned speakers in all areas related to interactive systems and simulation. The conference includes entertaining cultural and social events that foster casual and friendly interactions among the participants.
This year again, MIG will be held in a hybrid format, with a strong will to have you in person here in Rennes, for you to enjoy the most the conference program, face-to-face interactions with the community, the city of Rennes and the beautiful Brittany region! Nevertheless, you may choose to attend in person or to attend virtually to allow a maximum (virtual) attendance.

We encourage authors with content that can be fit into 6 pages to submit as a short paper and only to submit a long paper if the content requires it.
Submission Instructions
All submissions will be double-blind peer-reviewed by our international program committee for technical quality, novelty, significance, and clarity. Double-blind means that paper submissions must be anonymous and include the unique paper ID that will be assigned upon creating a submission using the online system. Papers should not have previously appeared in, or be currently submitted to, any other conference or journal. For each accepted contribution, at least one of the authors must register for the conference.
All submissions will be considered for the Best Paper, Best Student Paper, and Best Presentation awards, which will be conferred during the conference. Authors of selected best papers will be referred (under validation) to submit extended and significantly revised versions for a Special Issue of Computers & Graphics journal.
We also invite submissions of poster papers in any of the topics of interest and related areas. Each submission should be 1-2 pages in length. Two types of work can be submitted directly for poster presentation:
Work that has been published elsewhere but is of particular relevance to the MIG community can be submitted as a poster. This work and the venue in which it is published should be identified in the abstract;
Work that is of interest to the MIG community but is not yet mature enough to appear as a paper.
Posters will not appear in the official MIG proceedings or in the ACM Digital library but will appear in an online database for distribution at author’s discretion. You can use any paper format, though the MIG paper format is recommended. In addition, you are welcome to submit supplementary material such as videos.
All submissions should be formatted using the SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines (sigconf). Latex template can be found here: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template (for the review version, you can use the command \documentclass[sigconf, screen, review, anonymous]{acmart})
Due to the nature of the conference, we strongly encourage authors to submit supplementary materials (such as videos) with the size up to 200MB. They may be submitted electronically and will be made available to reviewers. For Video, we advise QuickTime MPEG-4 or DivX Version 6, and for still images, we advise JPG or PNG. If you use another format, you are not guaranteed that reviewers will view them. It is also allowed to have an appendix as supplementary material. These materials will accompany the final paper in the ACM Digital Library.
