During the recent years the mainstream framework for HCI research — the informationprocessing cognitive psychology —has gained more and more criticism because of serious problems in applying it both in research and practical design. In a debate within HCI research the capability of information processing psychology has been questioned and new theoretical frameworks searched. This paper presents...

The Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) aspects concerning education, research and development are increasing due to this area importance in the development of interactive systems. The usability evaluation is an important HCI area and should be a concern in HCI ́s courses and subjects. This paper presents the proposition of a strategy supported by two software developed for specific evaluation acti...

A large proportion of today’s software development is unsuccessful. One reason for this is thought to be lack of attention to the user. Maintaining a user-centred focus during software production is regarded as a major problem. Introducing an HCI designer role into the software team (they usually function as external advisors) is thought to be a means of addressing this problem. Issues surround...

The focus of this article is the supposed ‘Gender Paradox’, proposed by Labov (1990, 2001), that women are both sometimes conservative and sometimes innovative in terms of linguistic variation and change. Here we explore the paradox from two perspectives: we both investigate its applicability to multilingual as opposed to multidialectal communities as well as question whether the paradox is met...

Fracture surface of Zircaloy-2 specimens tested under constant crosshead speed in CH3OH/0.4 Vol. %HCI solution with and without selenium (25 ppm) addition was studied. Using a combined process of deformation and annealing, coarse grained material was also obtained and examined. Two modes of stress corrosion crack propagation were observed: an intergranular zone caused by stress assisted anodic ...

This workshop will explore and discuss geopolitical issues in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) as a field of knowledge practice. These are mainly seen at two levels: (1) on discourses surrounding motivations value HCI sociotechnical field, (2) concepts diffusion, maturity diversity articulated by global local networks. Since the beginning HCI, discussions democracy have been around. It may even...

Abstract The ongoing development and adoption of digital technologies such as AI in business brings ethical concerns challenges. Main topics are the design technologies, their tasks, competencies organizational practice, collaboration with humans. Previous guidelines on ethics mainly consider technological aspects nondiscriminatory AI, its transparency, technically constrained (distributed) age...

Human–Computer Interfaces (HCI) deals with the study of interface between humans and computers. The use radar other RF sensors to develop HCI based on Hand Gesture Recognition (HGR) has gained increasing attention over past decade. Today, devices have built-in radars for recognizing categorizing hand movements. In this article, we present first ever review related HGR using sensors. We availabl...

The ever-increasing number of computing devices around us results in more and systems competing for our attention, making cognitive workload a crucial factor the user experience human-computer interfaces. Research Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has used various metrics to determine users’ mental demands. However, there needs be systematic way choose an appropriate effective measure experiment...

I describe initial thoughts towards an ideological analysis of HCI, based on identifying the central role of modernist ideology in HCI research practice.
