HCI2004: Design for Life
http://www.hci2004.org
Jan 23rd 2004 is the deadline for full papers, workshop and
tutorial proposals. Start planning now to join us in September in
Leeds.
The 18th British Human-Computer Interaction Group Annual Conference is
taking place at Leeds Metropolitan University from 6-10 September 2004.
Our ambitious theme is Design for Life. See the links below for more
details.
Researchers, practitioners and educators from around the world will come
together at HCI2004 to set an uncompromising user-centred agenda. As
designers, evaluators and implementers of interactive systems, we hold
great responsibility: the systems we design can shape the lives of the
people who use them. Join us in sharing the best of research and
practice taking place in this important field.
Design for Life has many facets:
- design for quality of life: designing systems that are liberating, humane
and enabling, and which recognise the user's individuality, rather than
constraining, mechanical and dehumanising.
- design for real life: ensuring what we do makes a difference in every day
experience and is relevant to the person on the street.
- design for all aspects of life: for work, for leisure,
for travel, for fun.
- design for community life: supporting society, government, learning and
health.
- design for the richness of life, recognising that successful interaction
is as much about experience, emotion, satisfaction and creativity as it is
about task, productivity and effect.
- design for the whole life from childhood to older adulthood. It is design
for the diversity of life: for users with diverse needs, from diverse
cultures and with different perspectives and priorities.
- design for long life: not focusing on passing phases and fads but on
products that adapt to changing needs and on approaches that can contribute
to sustainable developments.
Some of these concerns are traditional ones for HCI;
others are new challenges that we must face.
