h2-logo Tracks

Cultural Computing Special Track:

VINCI introduces a new Cultural Computing Special Track this year to explore and advance the intersection of visual information communication and culture. This special track invites contributions that demonstrate how visual and computational techniques, tools, and systems can be applied to understand, analyze, represent, and interact with cultural phenomena, encompassing both tangible and intangible aspects. Technical papers, artistic works, and interactive systems or prototypes that contribute to the field of cultural computing through innovative visual communication and interaction are welcomed.

We have three paper types in the special track: full papers, short papers, and posters.

The page limits are strict so please ensure that you meet the requirements:

  • Full Papers: max. 8 pages (incl. references!)
  • Short Papers: max. 4 pages + 1 extra page which contains ONLY references
  • Posters: max. 2 pages (incl. references!)
