Challenges of Emerging Technologies for HCD
Bridging the Gap between Inquiry and Invention
Melbourne, Australia

The Workshop
A day of creative thinking
04 Dec 2018
09:00 am
Though user-centred design methods are excellent for fulfilling user needs using mature technologies, they are still limited in handling emerging technologies. On the other hand, technology-centric methods are great for designing cool new gadgets, though their outcomes often do not solve real users’ needs. This full-day workshop will bring together academic researchers and industry practitioners to explore how we can bridge inquiry-led human-centred design methods with invention-led technology-centred methods.
​
On the day of the workshop, we will discuss challenges and opportunities in this space and work together in a practical ideation, prototyping, and evaluation activity to uncover potential solutions, guidelines, and directions for future research and practice.

About OzCHI
What is OzCHI?
OzCHI is Australia's leading forum for the latest in Human-Computer Interaction research and practice. OzCHI attracts a broad international community of researchers, industry practitioners, academics and students. Participants come from a range of backgrounds, including interface designers, user experience experts, information architects, software engineers, human factors specialists, information systems analysts, and social scientists.
​
This year's conference theme is 'digital, physical, interactive, human'. This theme highlights the diversity and relevance of Human-Computer Interaction in today's digitally rich world.
We invite original contributions on all topics related to Human-Computer Interaction, Interaction Design and the design and use of interactive technologies. Submissions are invited for long papers, short papers, workshops, and the doctoral consortium. See the Call for Papers page for more information.
​
We welcome submissions from all disciplines and from both academia and industry.
​
OzCHI is the annual non-profit conference for the Computer-Human Interaction Special Interest Group (CHISIG) of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of Australia. OzCHI paper tracks are double blind peer-reviewed and are published in the ACM digital library.
