General information
The Eyes4Access workshop will gather interdisciplinary researchers around the advances of eye-tracking research in accessibility, exploring inclusive technologies, interaction techniques, and real-world digital media, education and cultural scenarios. Aimed at advancing gaze-based accessibility solutions, Eyes4Access encourages submissions on eye-tracking in broadly defined accessibility research. The workshop will advance the potential of eye-tracking to create inclusive HCI experiences focusing on users with sensory and cognitive impairments. The Eyes4Access workshop will foster community collaboration by summarizing novel eye-tracking research, methods, and applications for accessibility. In general, the workshop outcomes will contribute to societal equity, and drive innovation in assistive technologies.
We invite researchers, practitioners, and students to submit their work to the Eyes4Access Workshop. We welcome submissions from any field using eye tracking for accessibility. We welcome both empirical research papers and position papers. We particularly encourage novel works which may include completed systems and/or studies, preliminary results of piloting studies, or early iterations of the design.
Submission format
To contribute, please submit an extended abstract of a maximum of four pages excluding references. Papers must be original and not accepted previously for publication or under review elsewhere.
We use the ACM article template for all submissions. To prepare your paper for submission, please use the double-column format using the provided Word or LaTeX templates. Please use the "author year" citation and reference format.
Links to paper templates:
- LaTeX (Use \documentclass[sigconf]{acmart} for submissions)
- Microsoft Word
- Overleaf
Submitted papers must be anonymized for double-blind peer review, i.e., paper submissions must be appropriately anonymized to conceal the authors' identities and institutions.
Please submit only the PDF version of your manuscript. Submissions may include supplementary material, such as videos, code, or datasets that will be archived together with the paper in the ACM DL. Video submissions are not required, but encouraged to help demonstrate interactive systems that are otherwise difficult to showcase using images or text. Videos should use the MP4 format with H.264 codec and file size should not exceed 100 MB. We recommend the standard 1920x1080 resolution (1280x720 as an alternative). Any supplementary materials, including the video, must be anonymized for review.
Submission and review process
Eyes4Access workshop uses the Precision Conference System (PCS) to handle the submission and reviewing process. Please ensure that you are making a submission to Society=ETRA, Conference=ETRA 2025, Track={Eyes4Access}, and choose the respective track.
All submissions will go through a single-phase review process. They will be carefully reviewed by three reviewers, who will evaluate the submissions based on their fit with the workshop theme, originality, and quality. After the review process, the authors will receive the final acceptance or rejection notification.
Publication and presentation
Accepted papers will be published in the adjunct proceedings of the ETRA’25 conference in the ACM Digital Library.
Note that at least one author of an accepted submission must attend the workshop, provide a short presentation, and register for both the workshop and at least one day of the main ETRA conference. Details about the presentation format will follow after the acceptance notification.
