======About the workshop======
Major characteristics of our interactions with technology lie in their
frequency and execution in stable contexts, which according to
behavioural psychology, form crucial foundations for the development of
habitual behaviours. Habits are currently addressed as implicit facets
of interaction design through concepts such as consistency,
intuitiveness and learnability. In addition research in HCI is looking
at the breaking and rebuilding habits through the use of technology.
This full day workshop focuses on habits in HCI contexts aiming to
define the area and scope of research for habits in the HCI discipline.
=====Topics of discussion=====
The workshop will look to discuss:
• The nature of habits in HCI
• Application areas in which technology can be used to break and make habits
• Methodological issues in researching habits
• Potential areas of funding and community activities
=====Registration====
The full day workshop will take place at Brunel University on the 9th of
September 2013.
Costs of registration for the workshop is £120
