of a new prototype, i.e., why prior theory and practice is not sufficient, (3) what the prototype solution looks like (e.g., images, screenshots), (4) what contribution to extant theory and/or practice this prototype makes (i.e., beyond the prototype itself),
and (5) how the authors plan to present the prototype (e.g., what technological infrastructure would be needed). Prototype presentations will take the form of system demonstrations. These demonstrations can take the form of (a) a live demonstration of the
technology, (b) videos showing the prototype in use, (c) posters illustrating and explaining the prototype, or (d) any combination of these three modalities<o:p></o:p></span></p>
