OzCHI attracts a broad international community of researchers, industry practitioners, academics and students. Participants typically come from more than 25 countries and from a range of backgrounds, including interface designers, user experience experts, information architects, software engineers, human factors specialists, information systems analysts and social scientists. We welcome international submissions and participation. We encourage submissions and participation from industry. The theme of the conference this year is Human-Nature. Our theme highlights both the need for socio-technical systems which bring out our better human nature, and the need to better engage people with the natural environment in which we live in order that we understand, appreciate and learn to live in harmony with nature and the wonders it holds. OzCHI is the annual non-profit conference for the Computer-Human Interaction Special Interest Group (CHISIG) of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society of Australia. OzCHI paper tracks (long, short, WIPs, demos) are double blind peer–reviewed and published in the ACM digital library. Registration Prices in Aussie dollars! 1. HFESA/ACM Member (early): $650 2.
