Announcing the formation of BuckCHI
The (Forming) Central Ohio chapter of the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI)


From:
the BuckCHI Steering Committee
To:
Anyone interested in Human-Computer Interaction in Central Ohio
We invite you to join a local organization dedicated to advancing Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). This organization will support people in the central Ohio area who are interested in issues concering user interaction design for computer-based systems. Being interdisciplinary, we expect to support people interested in human factors, computer science, industrial design, psychology, engineering, and other related disciplines.

As more and more local professionals become involved in HCI and related fields, the need for an organization of like-minded persons to support and enrich each other becomes apparent. In central Ohio, the time has come for those interested in HCI to create an organization that will act as a resource and network for its members.

With the need to share concerns and develop a sense of community in mind, we are planning to hold a series of meetings around topics of high interest for area professionals. Such topics will include, but are not limited to:

  1. World Wide Web Design (including topics like Java and Shockwave)
  2. Visual Interface Design (i.e., graphic design techniques)
  3. Usability Evaluations
  4. Field Research Methods for Informing Design
  5. Low-Fidelity Prototyping (e.g., paper prototyping)
To address such topics we are planning a mix of function formats including: Members will also be able to receive information via: If you are interested in being a part of BuckCHI:
