Benefits
This tutorial is a tried-and-true introduction to the field of human-computer interaction (HCI).
It has become a CHI conference tradition. If you are a newcomer to the CHI field, this tutorial
will give you the background you need to get the most out of the CHI conference.
Origins
This tutorial has evolved, based on feedback from the attendees, as it has been given each year
at CHI since CHI 92.
Features
- What is HCI and why is it important?
- Brief history of HCI
- Introduction to building usable systems
- Introduction to the psychology of HCI
- Introduction to computer technologies for HCI
- Future directions of HCI
- Where to learn more during the conference
- Where to learn more in the published HCI literature
Audience
Mainly first-time CHI attendees, typically professionals from computing-related fields who are
new to the field of human-computer interaction. No background in HCI is assumed.
Presentation
Half-day (evening), mostly lecture style.
Instructors
Keith Butler is a senior principal scientist for user-centered design at Boeing Information
and Support Services. Before joining Boeing, he was a member of the technical staff at Bell
Labs.
Rob Jacob is an associate professor of EECS at Tufts University and currently a visiting
professor in the Tangible Media Group at the MIT Media Laboratory. He is a member of the
editorial board of ACM TOCHI and ACM Interactions, former Vice Chair of SIGCHI, and Papers
Co-Chair for CHI 2001.
Wayne Gray is an Associate Professor of Psychology at George Mason University and Program Director of its Human Factors and
Applied Cognition Program. His research interests include applying cognitive modeling in an attempt to understand the interplay between cognition, artifact, and task. His current research includes situation
assessment by submarine Action Officers, the role of microstrategies in cognitive workload, how artifact design contributes to human error in routine behavior, the control of attention, and how cognitive least-effort influences behavior. He received his Ph.D. from the University
of California at Berkeley.
