HCI in Practice

The HCI in Practice track aims to show to the HCI community how industry solves its real problems by the use of methods, tools and trained personnel. Our goal is to provide a discussion on the challenges faced by the industry and on the requests that might be proposed to the academy. We hope that these challenges can drive the HCI academic community interests with regards to education, extension and research. The track will be composed by experiences reports submitted by industry professionals. This is an opportunity to discuss innovative solutions and trends and to networking.

Topics of interest:

The following topics are particularly expected in this track. However, we are interested in any topic relevant to the HCI practice:

• Integration of HCI and Agile Methods: Agile UX, Lean UX;
• HCI methods beyond HCI: design thinking, service design;
• The role of computing professionals in UX teams;
• Internalization versus expert consultancy: pros and cons;
• Mobility, multimodality, cross-channel interaction;
• Assistive technologies, accessibility;
• Responsive design, smart interfaces;
• Big Data in HCI.
