INTERACT 2017 - 16th IFIP TC.13 International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction

The 16th IFIP TC.13 International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction - INTERACT 2017 will be held from September 25-29, 2017 in Mumbai, India.
INTERACT conferences are an important platform for researchers and practitioners in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) to showcase their work. Over the years, the conferences have attracted researchers from several countries and cultures. Being held for the first time in Asia in 2017, the conference will come a step closer to more than half of world’s population.
THEME: GLOBAL THOUGHTS, LOCAL DESIGNS
In this new age of global connectivity, designers are often required to design products for users who are beyond their borders and belonging to distinctly different cultures. The process of designing products is becoming more multi-disciplinary by the day. Solutions are now designed with a global perspective in mind, however local the solution might be.
For those in the field of human-computer interaction, the phenomenon of global thoughts, local designs would have a direct impact. It encompasses the areas of HCI in the industry of emerging economies, HCI contributions in socio-economic development, HCI for products and services in emerging markets, including mobile systems, HCI and designs for low-literacy users, HCI and designs for bottom of the pyramid users, and HCI for remote contexts, including issues related to international outsourcing / global software development. We would develop onthese ideas going forward.
