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:
- World Wide Web Design (including topics like Java and Shockwave)
- Visual Interface Design (i.e., graphic design techniques)
- Usability Evaluations
- Field Research Methods for Informing Design
- Low-Fidelity Prototyping (e.g., paper prototyping)
To address such topics we are planning a mix of function formats including:
- Tutorials
- Workshops
- Symposia
- Speaker presentations
- Tours
- Social activities
Members will also be able to receive information via:
