Characterizing HCI Research in China: Streams, Methodologies and Future Directions
share
Human-computer Interaction (HCI) is an interdisciplinary research field involving multiple disciplines, such as computer science, psychology, social science and design. It studies the interaction between users and computer in order to better design technologies and solve real-life problems.

We then propose future HCI research directions such as including emergent users who have less access to technology and addressing the cultural dimensions in order to provide better technical solutions and support.
