How to bring HCI Research and Practice Closer Together
This special interest group probes potential problems between HCI researchers and the practitioners who are consumers of research, to explore the extent of the problems and propose possible solutions. It will start with the results of the CHI 2010 workshop on the same topic, articulating factors that may render some of the research literature inaccessible or irrelevant to practitioners. When should HCI researchers be concerned about the relevance of their work to practitioners? How should practitioners communicate their needs for research? Participants will discuss these topics and others that both groups can use to help bridge the gap between research and practice in HCI.
Reprioritizing the relationship between HCI research and practice
Proceedings of the 2014 conference on Designing interactive systems - DIS '14, 2014
There has been an ongoing conversation about the role and relationship of theory and practice in the HCI community. This paper explores this relationship privileging a practice perspective through a tentative model, which describes a "bubble-up" of ideas from practice to inform research and theory development, and an accompanying "trickle-down" of theory into practice. Interviews were conducted with interaction designers, which included a description of their use of design methods in practice, and their knowledge and use of two common design methods-affinity diagramming and the concept of affordance. Based on these interviews, potential relationships between theory and practice are explored through this model. Disseminating agents already common in HCI practice are addressed as possible mechanisms for the research community to understand practice more completely. Opportunities for future research, based on the use of the tentative model in a generative way, are considered.
HCI Research Transfer to Practice: Better Together
SIGHCI 2003 …, 2003
Currently, HCI researchers and HCI practitioners work in relatively separate spheres of influence. Practitioners often question the value of academic HCI research and desire more practical directions. HCI researchers often wonder if their research findings are communicated via the optimal channels for influencing practitioners' process and direction, or whether their results generalize to the real workaday world of HCI. This panel attempts to outline what practitioners need from their academic partners, and how they think these needs can be addressed by academic research. Academics on the panel will state what they see as interesting future research challenges, and whether or how they think they can address the practitioner community's interests. The practitioners on the panel will then state their opinions about the opportunities for technology transfer from academia to practice.
Institutionalizing HCI in Asia
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2007
In this paper we investigate the problems and potential solutions to the effective establishment of HCI and usability in India and China. Our discussion is motivated by five years of collaboration with relevant bodies in both countries through EU-funded projects encouraging the development of a usability culture in academic and industrial sectors. In order to contribute to socially-responsible interaction in these countries the 'institutionalization' of HCI is necessary. For us, this involves three elements: firstly an appropriation of HCI concepts and methods to suit the local country / culture, secondly the forming of a national organization around the reshaped discipline that can actively promote HCI in industry and academia and establish links with local national organizations, and thirdly the roll-out of effective usability practice in industry. Some efforts made in this regard are briefly outlined.

Furthermore the workshop focuses on the input that is required from government bodies to stimulate this collaboration. Participants will discuss enabling conditions for collaborative projects, based on the various practical research experiences of the participants.
Proceedings of HCI 2010 - Index
The current state of HCI is an amazing topology of interlinked topics and techniques, with ideas bouncing between and across other domains. What was once the struggle to identify and encourage the adoption of good practice, has grown into a massive multiplayer game, a global endeavour that makes vast forests of business and commerce possible and viable, and that potentially empowers and sustainably enables the disadvantaged in every society. The game has indeed become a serious business.
HCI in Southeast Asia: The Journey Forward
Asian HCI Symposium'22
SEACHI 2022 has been conducted to bring HCI and UX leaders in Southeast Asia to discuss the current state-of-the-art HCI and UX teaching, practice, and support they experience in their region. This activity aims to explore the potentials and challenges and identify the gaps amongst different sectors in different countries. Through this workshop, we will have a common understanding of what we face. It explores how we can work collaboratively to achieve a better purpose, i.e., to grow HCI and UX fields in Southeast Asia. This one-day online workshop was conducted as a collocated event of CHI 2022 and was attended by delegates from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines. This paper is a summary of the individual papers produced by delegates. CCS CONCEPTS • Human-centered computing → Human computer interaction (HCI); HCI design and evaluation methods.
Reframing HCI Through Local and Indigenous Perspectives
International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction, 2013
This one-day workshop aims to present different local and indigenous perspectives from all over the world in order to lead into an international dialogue on re-framing concepts and models in HCI/Interaction Design. The target audience is HCI researchers and practitioners who have experience with working with culture and HCI. The expected outcome of the workshop is a) network building among the participants, b) a shortlist of papers that can be basis for a proposal for a special issue of the UAIS journal, and c) identify opportunities to develop a funded network or research proposal.

HCI Knowledge – Missing in Practice
HCI is taught as a core course in most computing programmes in universities worldwide as it is critical to the successful use of technology. The success of undergraduate HCI education can be gauged from their final year project (FYP) through their ability to reflect, integrate and apply their HCI knowledge. However, the extent of use of HCI knowledge in application development amongst students is unknown. This paper intends to fill in the gaps of HCI education and its application in practice as it attempts to uncover students' ability to apply their HCI knowledge in their FYP as an immediate outcome to evaluate the success of HCI education. The study was conducted in the context of Malaysian ICT tertiary education using IIUM as a case study. A content analysis of FYP reports was conducted to identify the use of HCI techniques in the application development including HCI evaluation. The result of the analysis indicates that most students conducted User Acceptance Testing but not HCI evaluation. The findings have implications for the need to review the teaching and learning of HCI, while attempting to strengthen the symbiotic collaboration among HCI academics, industrial partners and government agencies in the wake of increasing market demand for usability and user experience experts.
Advancing HCI Research and Education within and across South Asia
Extended Abstracts of the 2023 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems
With the advancements in technologies, the need for Human's perspective and human-centered designs are in much demand and its essential to understand diverse cultural needs. The community in South Asia has been recognized to have a unique and diverse sociocultural, political, infrastructural, and geographical background of the region. However, we continue to see that the studies presented to the CHI community about South Asia primarily focus on working with and unpacking the regional contextual constraints (of the users and the infrastructures), thus taking a developmental stance. We witness a lack of HCI work presented by South Asian research community promoting diverse methods, cultures and behaviors. We believe this is due to limited experience in the field and resources. In this online workshop, we take advanced steps to operationalize collaborations and resource sharing between HCI researchers by presenting their half-baked ideas, presenting published HCI work on other venues, or even sharing challenges faced in a Rejected HCI work in the context of South Asia. Our aim is to broaden the perspective of the CHI research and community towards the contributions from the region including and beyond development, by bringing together researchers, designers, and practitioners working or are interested in working within these regions on diverse topics.

A qualitative approach to HCI research
Research Methods for Human-Computer Interaction
The expanding focus of HCI
Proceedings of the 4th Nordic conference on Human-computer interaction changing roles - NordiCHI '06, 2006
The focus of the research in human-computer interaction (HCI) continues to expand. One example of this is the growing interest in national and ethnic culture as a research topic. In this review, we examine the emerging field of cultural HCI by systematically analysing culture-related literature from five major HCI forums and past sixteen years. We focus on research methodology, technologies and cultures covered, theoretical underpinnings and referencing practices. We also discuss problems found on the basis of the review and provide perspectives on the future research into cultural issues.
A qualititative approach to HCI research
2008
Whilst science has a strong reliance on quantitative and experimental methods, there are many complex, socially based phenomena in HCI that cannot be easily quantified or experimentally manipulated or, for that matter, ethically researched with experiments. For example, the role of privacy in HCI is not obviously reduced to numbers and it would not be appropriate to limit a person's privacy in the name of research.

Galletta et al. HCI Common Ground Finding Common Ground Among HCI Reference Disciplines
Five panelists provide an interesting set of contrasting points of view of the HCI field from four distinct disciplines: Business, Computer Science, Information Science, and Psychology. Panelists are asked to respond to six questions in their presentations that address what their particular field offers that is unique, what seems to be quite similar, the effects of the overlaps, and advice for the future. Many of the panelists represent multiple fields, providing a unique opportunity to address the issues of overlap.
