Australasian Computer-Human Interaction Conference
OZCHI is Australia and New Zealand's leading forum for work in all areas of human-computer interaction. As the annual conference for the Computer-Human Interaction Special Interest Group (CHISIG) of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of Australia (HFESA), OZCHI attracts an international community of researchers and practitioners with a wide range of interests, including usability, information architecture, interaction design, human factors and ergonomics, human-computer interaction, information systems, software engineering, artificial intelligence, design, social sciences and management. The long and short papers accepted in the conference will be included in the proceedings of the ACM Digital Library.
This year's conference is to be held at James Cook University's Tropical campus just north of Cairns in Far North Queensland, Australia, the only place on the planet where two World Heritage listed areas, the Great Barrier Reef and Wet Tropical Rainforest, are side-by-side.
Theme
Our conference theme is Designing for Habitat & Habitus. This theme encompasses the role of technology in supporting and enhancing our relationships with, and within, the settings we inhabit and designing interactions that can sustain affective and diverse cultural and environmental dimensions of life-experiences.
