NORTH Lab and Northumbria University researchers are involved in 26 papers being presented at the 2017 ACM SICGHI Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) conference in Denver, Colorado. We also have involvement in additional 7 workshops, SIG meetings and courses. CHI is the largest conference in the field of human-computer interaction, and generally regarded as the most prestigious publication venue in this field. Many of these papers are the fruit of a number of long-term and ongoing collaborations, especially with our colleagues at Open Lab, Newcastle University, but also with researchers at the University of Bath, University of York, Sussex University, University of Nottingham, Durham University, University of Exeter, Royal College of Art, Lancaster University and the University of Dundee.
An official press release can be found here. Below is an overview of all the contributions at the conference, with links to the relevant papers.
