Computer Human Interaction

Computer Human Interaction seeks to understand how people interact with technologies and how technology changes society, by designing new interaction techniques and interfaces. Major research topics concerning human factors for interactive systems include human-centred AI, cooperative systems and accessibility. Hybrid human-AI collaborations and exploring human factors in AI through cooperative and crowd-empowered systems are currently hot topics, focusing Humans teaming with AI to reach a Human-AI symbiosis. Also, citizen science has a rising interest in the Digital Twins, engaging stakeholders in digital ecosystems. Research trends in accessibility and assistive technologies aim to apply computing and information technologies to empower individuals with disabilities and older adults by eliminating the gap between the average user and those with special needs, promoting equal rights and opportunities. Active ageing research aims to enhance the relationship between seniors and technology, by personalising user experience, adapting interaction to the context and to user profiles and highlighting the benefits of using technology in daily life.
