Inclusive HCI
Second international workshop on inclusive human-computer interaction

MOTIVATION INCLUSIVE HCI WORKSHOP

This workshop aims to provide a platform for practitioners and scientists who are curious about the inclusive development of truly usable digital assistive technologies for persons with disability and other disadvantaged groups. Because while this technological advancement is key to leverage inclusion and participation, many barriers to its accessibility and usability still exist for those who would benefit most from it.

With this workshop, we want to create a lively ‘room’ wherein best practices and experiences can be discussed, where ideas on inclusive design and participative development approaches can be swapped and where the group can learn from each other about successes and failures so far. Therefore, we particularly invite those who are curious and open to exchanging ideas and knowledge in the interrelated field of technical, practical and social factors that are involved in the inclusive usability design of future (digital) assistive technology.

INTENDED AUDIENCE AND SUBMISSIONS

We welcome a broad range of interested applicants, including students, academics and professionals. Participants should be interested in empowering humans with new forms of human-computer interaction and shaping the next-generation of inclusive environments. We explicitly invite participants with different level of familiarity with the workshop topic. Prior experience in the field of inclusive HCI is helpful, but not required. Taking the diversity of the intended audience into account, we invite a broad variety of submissions. Generally, workshop position paper should describe a topic or challenge that can contribute to workshop discussions, including for example

Reports on ongoing or completed research projects,
Results from empirical studies,
Insights gained in case studies, or
A summary of personal experience.

Position papers should be written in the OzCHI conference template with a preferred length between 1 - 2 pages including references and submitted via e-mail to carsten.roecker@th-owl.de
