==Call for Papers==
The 12th annual ACM/SIGGRAPH conference on Motion, Interaction and Games (MIG 2019, formerly Motion in Games) will take place in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, 28th - 30th Oct 2019.

The goal of the Motion, Interaction, and Games conference is to be a platform for bringing together researchers from interactive systems and animation, and have them present their most recent results, initiate collaborations, and contribute to the advancement of the research area. The program will consist of regular paper sessions for long and short papers, posters,, and invided talks by a selection of internationally renowned speakers from Academia and the Industry.

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 invited to submit extended and significantly revised versions to be considered for publication in a special section of IEEE Transactions on Visualizations and Computer Graphics (TVCG, Impact Factor 3.078), or of Computers & Graphics (C&G, Impact Factor: 1.200).

==Submission==
Papers should be anonymized for double-blind reviewing, and formatted using the SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines (sigconf).
