Can it deal with difficult input including light conditions, fast motion, occlusions? How fast is it and on which hardware? How does it compare to known state-of-the-art systems? It is also a good idea to use a standard data set to make the results comparable to other publications, or make your test data sets available for other authors.<\/span><\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">Rendering and Visualization: Is the output quality of your system superior to previous methods?

If you don\u2019t have at least one new idea, you don\u2019t have a publishable paper. Can your results be applied anywhere outside of your project? If not, the paper is probably too special-purpose for ISMAR. On the other hand, beware of trying to write a paper with too large a scope.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>Is the paper complete?<\/b><\/span><\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">The question that generates a large amount of discussion within the program committee to determine whether a paper is complete. If the paper presents an algorithm or technique, an experienced practitioner in the field should be able to implement it using the paper and its references. If the paper claims to present a faster or more efficient way of implementing an established technique, it must contain enough detail to replicate the experiment on competing implementations. When you quote numbers, be sure that they are not misleading\u2014state clearly whether they were measured, simulated, or derived, and how you did the measurements, simulations, or derivations. For example, CPU time measurements are meaningless unless the reader is told the machine and configuration on which they were obtained.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>Does the paper contain too much information?<\/b><\/span><\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">Many large, poorly written papers contain a good paper trying to get out. It is the author\u2019s responsibility, not the reviewer\u2019s, to discover this paper and turn it into a stronger and concise submission. If you have addressed a single, practical problem, don\u2019t try to generalize it for the purposes of publication. If you have a formal theory or elaborate architecture, don\u2019t include all the vagaries of the implementation unless they are critical to the utility of the theory. Don\u2019t include the contents of your user\u2019s manual; instead, describe the model or functionality achieved. You should assume your audience has a working knowledge of user-interface development and access to the major journals in computer science, electrical engineering, and psychology. A short conference paper can only present a few concise ideas well.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>Can this paper be presented well?<\/b><\/span><\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">While ISMAR papers are judged primarily as technical papers, some consideration is given to how suitable the topic is for a conference presentation. Think of how you would present your ideas, and how big the audience is likely to be. Papers that have a small number of concisely stated new ideas and that are visually interesting tend to appeal to a large audience and be easy to present. As recent conferences clearly show, these criteria do not eliminate papers that have taxonomies or strong theoretical content, or appeal to a specialized audience, if they contain significant new ideas.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>Should a video also be included?<\/b><\/span><\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">A video can be very helpful for communicating technical results, especially when the paper discusses an interaction technique. However, do not try to save space in the paper by putting essential information into the video. The paper must stand on its own.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>Is the paper accessible?<\/b><\/span><\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All information, including information in figures, charts, tables, etc., should be available to readers who consume it in different ways.

Instead use \u201cthey\u201d as a gender-neutral pronoun. When referencing a profession, use the gender-neutral form.
