2013 marks the seventh year of the annual Irish Human Computer Interaction (iHCI) conference. This year iHCI will take place on Wednesday 12th and Thursday 13th June at Dundalk Institute of Technology. HCI researchers, students and practitioners are invited to participate. The conference format will include long and short papers from the HCI community as well as a posters and demo section. A new event for the 2013 conference will involve talks by Ireland’s senior HCI researchers –who will present their top-tier HCI conference/journal papers (e.g. from CHI, CSCW, TOCHI, UIST) at iHCI.
This year’s conference will not be organized around a specific theme. Instead, we encourage submissions on novel HCI concepts, insightful surveys of existing work, or concrete, significant, transferable research based on the implementation and evaluation of a working system. Speculative short papers (up to 4 pages) may report work in progress or an interesting idea that is not yet fully developed. The organizers are also seeking an interactive workshop such as the one which accompanied the conference in 2009. More details to follow on this.
We welcome contributions that include, but are not limited to, any of the following topics of interest:
Accessibility & Universal Access
Case studies
Collaboration, groupware and social networks
Ethnographical and field studies
Evaluation methods and frameworks
Human-centred design practices, tools and methods
HCI Theory and Practice
Information visualization and presentation techniques
Novel user interfaces, interaction techniques and technologies
Mobile, Ambient, Augmented or Tangible HCI
Multimodal interaction and interfaces
Ubiquitous, pervasive, and mobile interaction
User-centred design
Usability investigation and evaluation
Wearable computing, smart clothes, new devices and sensors
Special topics include:
Human factors in health and wellness applications and health care informatics.
Designing for specific groups (e.g. children, older adults, collaborators)
Evaluation ‘in the wild’.
