The SBC Journal on Interactive Systems (JIS) is a publication of the Brazilian Computing Society (SBC), maintained and supported by three special interest groups: Human-Computer Interaction, Virtual Reality and Games. The journal is inherently interdisciplinary, and its main goals include:

  • To disseminate original scientific works on (and accross) the areas of human-computer interaction, virtual reality, augmented reality, games, and entertainment computing.
  • To introduce scientific projects under development by research groups focused on contributing to the state-of-the-art of the related themes
  • To openly disseminate high quality research results for a broad audience

 Authors are invited to submit original contributions – written in English – presenting experimental or theoretical results, case studies, surveys, as well as new ideas and applications with advances in a broad spectrum of technical areas. Topics include but are not limited to:
