The MUM Posters and Demos track provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to share early-stage, ongoing, or experimental work with the MUM community in an interactive setting. We welcome contributions presented as
posters (summarising work in progress, preliminary findings, novel research directions, or provoking position statements) or demos (showcasing working systems, prototypes, applications, or research projects). Demos may be accompanied by a poster as part of
the demo setup, in which case the submission should describe this in the Presentation section below. Submissions may describe preliminary research results that have not yet been fully designed, implemented, or tested but show great promise; summarise small-scale
studies; introduce novel, challenging, or provoking research directions; or present interactive artefacts that attendees can engage with hands-on. MUM maintains an open and experimental attitude: whether you have built a mobile app, designed a new device,
created an interactive system, developed innovative software, or have early findings you'd like to discuss, we want to see your work, play with it, and talk about it.
