Conference Theme
The 2009 conference theme is Design: Open 24/7. Accessibility, inclusivity and dissolving boundaries are core to the Open 24/7 theme for the design of human interaction with and through digital technologies. The integration of digital technologies into our everyday life allows for a seamless transitioning between open and closed, work and leisure, public and private. Open implies participation and collaboration across traditional borders between individuals, organisations and disciplines. OZCHI 2009 provides a forum to discuss all aspects of openness, open borders, open participation, open source and open architecture. Theme-related submissions may address these topics:
- Open always-on real-time ubiquitous and pervasive designs
- Open design and universality versus situatedness, contextualisation and personalisation
- Open source for design – design for open source
- Open mind – new ideas, concepts and approaches from outside HCI
- Beyond open – never closed: design for escapism
Conference Topics
Submissions in all areas of HCI are encouraged. In addition, we particularly invite authors to address any of the following topics:
- Augmented Reality
- Context and Location Awareness
- Education and HCI
- Health Care and HCI
- Innovative Design Methodologies
- Smart Service Delivery
- Sustainability
- Universal Usability and Accessibility
- Urban Informatics
- Tangible User Interfaces
- Visualisation Techniques
- Working across Cultures
