We are excited to share UCL’s contributions to the CHI 2024 technical programme. This year’s conference will be held at the Hawaiʻi Convention Center in Honolulu, on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, USA, on 11-16 May 2024. In addition to the in-person experience, the conference will accommodate remote participation.
Fourteen of our papers have been accepted for presentation, with three of these receiving a Best Paper Award and three receiving a Best Paper Honorable Mention Award. In addition, we will be presenting three journal articles, two alt.chi papers, and four Late Breaking Works. Furthermore, we will co-organise three workshops at the conference and showcase our work during the interactivity session.
In addition, five groups from our Human-Computer Interaction MSc programme have been selected as finalists in the Student Design Competition. Additionally, two of our PhD students have been selected to participate in the Doctoral Consortium.
Duncan Brumby, Professor of Human-Computer Interaction, will be organising an Editorial Board meeting of the International Journal of Human-Computer Studies in his capacity as Editor-in-Chief. This will celebrate the journal's growing impact and its role as a leading publication for research on the design and use of interactive computer technology.
This year, we will be celebrating Anna Cox, Professor of Human-Computer Interaction and Vice-Dean (EDI) in the Faculty of Brain Sciences, for her election to the SIGCHI Academy in 2024. The SIGCHI Academy represents an elite group of professionals recognized for their significant contributions to the field of human-computer interaction. These esteemed leaders have not only shaped our disciplines and industries but have also spearheaded pivotal research and innovation efforts in human-computer interaction.
