Do you have a valuable eye-tracking work-in-progress project, new result, or a cool research demo to show? The ETRA 2025 late-breaking-work (LBW) track provides an opportunity for sharing new and exciting ideas and findings. Here, you can receive feedback from colleagues and experts, discuss fine details of eye-tracking science and technology, develop collaborations, and showcase your work. We invite submissions on all topics related to the conference. All submissions should convey a scientific result or describe work-in-progress not yet ready to be published as a full-length research paper at a peer-reviewed conference or journal.

New in ETRA 2025! We are offering 3 deadlines to give more time for feedback. This means you can submit to an early deadline (January or February), receive feedback, and continue to update your work until the final March deadline. To submit to the late-breaking-work, you need to prepare an Extended Abstract (2 pages excluding references and author block). Detailed instructions are available below. The late-breaking-work will be part of the ETRA 2025 proceedings and if accepted after the review, it will be included in the ETRA 2025 as a poster presentation. A good late-breaking-work should:

• Fall under the topics from the ETRA 2025 call (here).
• Motivate the use cases of the work.
• Describe the novelty of the tool/method and how it relates to other work.
• Describe any inner workings of the tool/method as necessary.
• Describe experiences gained in developing the tool/method.

Additionally late-breaking work can include a live demonstration, for which ETRA organizers will attempt to provide space for at the conference. MANDATORY:

• Except for demo-only abstracts, we require authors to discuss potential societal and individual risks of the presented work. Authors are required to include a privacy and ethics statement which addresses the broader impacts of their work as it relates to the authors' interpretation of privacy, fairness, safety, human rights, data sovereignty, or future misuse, and any benefit/risk trade-off resulting from the work. Notes related to institutional and scientific ethical approval, user study design considerations/limitations, and dataset licenses can be provided in this statement.
• Any work involving human or animal subjects must provide assurance that it was approved by a scientific ethical review committee (institutional review board); in the case of human research, acknowledgment of documented participant consent and/or assent is also required.

• To allow extra time for feedback and obtaining visas, we have opened the submission system early. Submissions will be reviewed by approximately two weeks after the corresponding deadline.
• Submitting a LBW in parallel with a submission to another track (Long Paper, Short Paper, Workshop) is allowed. If your main-track submission is accepted and you wish to withdraw your LBW submission please email lbw.etra2025@acm.org to make arrangements. If your accepted main-track submission also includes a poster, withdrawal of your LBW duplicate submission is required.

Please email lbw.etra2025@acm.org with any questions or comments on the Late-Breaking Work process.

ETRA 2025 uses the Precision Conference System (PCS) to handle the submission and reviewing process: https://new.precisionconference.com/user/login?society=etra.

Please create an account if you do not already have one. Edit your submission by including the required information by the final due date. As long as the status of your submission is "incomplete", PCS will provide a note of what information is required. To accommodate the three deadline submissions, please ensure you check “SEND TO REVIEW”, and hit “Record Changes”. You can find the LBW template as an Overleaf LaTeX Template (here).

Alternatively, you can use the (ACM Latex Template) or the (word template), though we recommend the Overleaf.

We encourage you to submit in any format initially [ (example 1- LaTeX published format), (example 2 - word 2 page)], but note there is a post-acceptance final preparation phase best supported by Overleaf or LaTeX.

Submitted work is limited to the greater of 2 pages or 1500 words in length. Limits do not include references or author block, but do include abstract and acknowledgments. Using all space/words is not required or expected. When generating PDF files, please make sure that the fonts are embedded in the PDF file. This will ensure that reviewers can view the paper without problems. The submitted work should not be anonymized for peer review. You will receive detailed instructions on how to prepare your final print-ready file together with or shortly after your final acceptance.
