Our researchers contribute to successful OzCHI’19
Presenters and attendees of the 31st Australian Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (OzCHI’19) met on Perth’s sandy shores between 3–5 December 2019. The Hotel Esplanade in Fremantle opened its doors to researchers, industry members, and academics from a range of backgrounds, framing discussions around a central theme: Experience Design across Asia-Pacific. The conference focused on emerging research related to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and User Experience (UX).
We were proudly represented by a number of researchers, who contributed in presentations across the three-day program. HCI group papers featured in sessions organised around: Ageing, Core Technologies, Emotions and Memory, Rights, Culture and Inclusion, and Games.
