International Roundtable for HCI in Architecture
(an HCI Forum parallel session)
Wednesday, April 25
Along with the Emerging Technologies Conference 2007, the C6 Open House, and the fourth annual HCI Forum, this round table intends to explore the potential of applying HCI to the field of architectural design. Supported by the ISU Council on International Programs (CIP), four well known faculty members from respected universities in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan are invited to give short presentations on their projects and research. Hopefully, fresh ideas will be generated from the panel discussions to stimulate our College of Design and HCI programs. The HCI Forum keynote speaker, Don Norman, follows in the afternoon.

Human-computer interaction (HCI) is a new discipline concerned with the design, evaluation, and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use, as well as the study of phenomena arising from computer interfaces. Because of its broad applications in everyday life in areas ranging from banking and shopping to recreation and medical care, many scholars have begun exploring its influence on modern culture. In design, studies have centered on human factors that would trigger human productivity. Thus, emphasis has been on developing specialized tools to increase productivity, reduce fatigue, and improve social environments. However, from the perspective of exploring HCI in the surrounding living environment, the field is new and studies have just started.
