Tracks: Design Theory and Methods; Design Practices; Design Project, Participation & Collaboration; Media and Digital Experiment; Culture and Society; Psychology and Perception; Economy and Law.

1. Design Theory and Methods:
This thematic group conducts research and provides all aspects of the design process as a means of enhancing our understanding of areas of design theory and methodology related to virtuality and its impact on humans. It provides a theoretical concept for a starting point for design research which aims to generate knowledge about designing in various conditions, and focuses on the application of methods including the adaptation of existing methods as well as the development of new methods derived from theory.
Topics include, but not limited to:

• Interaction Design Methods
• Design Animation Theory
• Architecture Theory and Design
• Graphic Design Theory
• Visual Methods
• Design And Visual Literacy
• Digital Media and Design History
• Sequential Narrative
• Design and Media Education

2. Design Practice:
This thematic group seeks contributions from industry perspectives on how the design and creative industries emerge and lead in today’s design ecosystem as it relates to virtuality, and how they reflect their design practice at the same time.
Topics include, but not limited to: 

• Case Study Design
• Design Management
• Design Analytics 
• Advertising Design
• Design Ethics
• Design Systems
• Brand promotion and campaign
• Start-up Design Identity
• Strategic Communication Design

3. Design Project, Participation & Collaboration:
These thematic groups open opportunities for interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary researchers to share what’s new in virtuality-related design project case studies, which promote virtual collaborative and participatory design.
Topics include, but not limited to: 

• Co-Design, 
• Participatory Design
• Design for Social
• Environmental Design
• Service Design
• Design for Health
• Human Centered Design
• Smart Textile And Design
• Product Design
• Industrial Design
• Smart City Design
• E-learning Design 
• Design for Development

4. Media and Digital Experiment:
Experimentation opens up opportunities to see design and digital media in new forms, and how these new forms can be as creative and innovative as future designs.
Topics include, but not limited to: 

• Media Experiment
• Virtual Media
• Media Documentation
• Media Text and Institution
• Media Production
• Design Fiction
• Future Media,
• Data Visualization
• Digital Data Communication
• Intelligent Systems
• Virtual Environment
• Experimental Design
• Type Design in Digital Age
• Digital Arts
• AI, Media, and Design

5. Culture and Society:
This thematic group is a space for sharing ideas about cultural and societal changes with the presence of virtuality. Virtuality has offered our concept and understanding of proximity, loss of distance, our understanding of cultural heritage, use of new and old technology, social media, spoken and written language, and so on.

6. Psychology and Perception:
Virtuality has become a part of human reality. This thematic group welcomes thoughts about psychological effects and virtual experiences when humans interact with society in cyberspace, the involvement of human emotions, virtual addiction, the perspective of presence, immersion.

7. Economy and Law:
This thematic group provides a space for exchange of ideas and contributions from interdisciplinary researchers of design, economics, and law. As we understand, ideas and effects operate integrally in the creative economy which influences the real economy. Meanwhile, the application of intellectual and property rights law to works in the virtual world and other legal aspects related to the implementation of designs in cyberspace are also part of the development of this thematic discussion.
