Computer technology is often designed in hubs Western countries, invariably making it "WEIRD", because based on the intuition, knowledge, and values of people who are Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic. Developing that universally useful engaging requires knowledge about members WEIRD non-WEIRD societies alike. In other words, us, CHI community, to generate this by studying representative participant samples. To find out what extent samples from societies, we analyzed papers...
A large majority of articles published at prominent HCI venues such as CHI and CSCW reports on studies with WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) participants, ignoring that the results might not apply to other subject populations. This workshop aims have following two main outcomes: (1) list major principles researchers often build are unlikely users in countries cultures. (2) An action plan describes how we can extend these previous findings, by collaborating across...
As HCI Across Borders aspires to celebrate its fifth year at CHI, and the CHI 2020 venue of Hawaii signifies a coming together four continents, goal symposium is bring our focus themes that unify foster solidarity across borders. Thus we select United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals as object study. Many communities within on constrained ephemeral nature resources, including for (HCI4D), (SHCI), Crisis Informatics (CI) communities, among several others. We contend it time these come...
At CHI 2016, the Development Consortium titled HCI Across Borders (HCIxB) was widely attended by 71 participants from 20 countries and six continents. The goal of this workshop to build community invite collaborations ?across borders? on themes interest for ? researchers actively involved in international research, with many them working parts ?developing? world. In 2017, our is extend these conversations fuel building beyond workshop. question we ask, therefore, how might align efforts...
The HCI Across Borders (HCIxB) community has been growing in recent years, thanks particular to the Development Consortium at CHI 2016 and HCIxB Symposium 2017. For 2018, we plan organize an symposium that focuses on building scholarship potential quality of junior researchers - paving new pathways, while also strengthening ties between more less members community.
Increasing the awareness for field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in Global South faces many challenges. The value integrating HCI into computer science programs is still its infancy across locations. Drawing from 16 years experiences supporting Student Design Competitions (SDCs) Latin America and Africa, this paper we reflect on intrinsic extrinsic CHI SDC conjuction with local regional events to address challenge. Via competitions, students get exposed global perspectives HCI,...
Culture is a phenomenon that shapes and conditions outcomes of human-computer interaction in very significant ways. The goal this study was to analyse the development field studies culture as part HCI research. To do so, systematic mapping review carried out analyzed articles from seven high profile journals conference proceedings 2010, 2016 2020. results were then systematically compared previous Kamppuri et al. [14], which covered time 1990 2005. analysis shows steady increase number...
Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) research has led to major innovations used by large and diverse audiences in different parts of the world. However, a recent meta-analysis [25] found that at CHI is still highly (73%) concentrated western contexts. HCI Across Borders (HCIxB) gathered audience conducting workshops symposia since 2016, aiming expand borders within CHI. For 2022, we expect regroup for virtual workshop reflect on shifting boundaries from CHI's past emerging challenges research,...
The HCI Across Borders (HCIxB) community has been growing in recent years, thanks particular to the Development Consortium at CHI 2016 and HCIxB Symposia 2017 2018. This year, we propose an symposium that continues build scholarship potential of early career researchers, strengthening ties between more less experienced members community. We especially invite with a focus on intersections, examining and/or addressing multiple forms marginalization (e.g. race, gender, class, among others).
This paper discusses the causes, extent and implications of digital language divide in technologies used by young Arabic-speaking children example Egyptian preschoolers. The discussion is based on two studies: A preliminary survey examining nature preschoolers' use technology an analytical evaluation representative Arabic literacy developing applications available for compared to their English counterparts.
The HCI Across Borders (HCIxB) community has been growing in recent years, starting with the Development Consortium at CHI 2016 and HCIxB Symposia since. This year, we intend to hold an workshop that aims foster scholarship potential of student early career researchers across world, particularly those from Global South, engaging on topic decoloniality. Through this symposium, aim create space for discussions have emerging pockets community, but could benefit greater focus attention interest...
This paper argues that integrating entrepreneurial thinking into the field of User Experience (UX) increases efficacy user-centered design approaches in industrial settings. The argument unfolds three steps: (1) element "problem solving" is identified as being core and common denominator both user- centered thinking, (2) connection between shown by focusing on processes well mental models, (3) it explained how extension UX elements leads to an increased impact area influence
Similar to research in behavioral psychology, privacy and usable security has focused mainly on Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic (WEIRD) societies. This excludes a large portion of the population affected by implications technology. In this work, we report survey (N=117) which studied technology-related concerns users from different countries, including developing countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, developed Germany. By comparing results those relating our findings...
This paper contributes to the understanding of graphical user interfaces for illiterate users. It looks at text-free interface elements software applications from a semiotic perspective. A field test was conducted (N=40) with literate and participants both genders in Egypt evaluate preferences performance different types representations. The were shown five groups signs, each group contained one index, icon symbol identify meanings create stories their preferred signs. signs associated...
Password sharing is a convenient means to access shared resources, save on subscription costs, provide emergency access, and avoid forgetting vital account details. However, it also raises significant privacy concerns, especially in digital communication contexts where content may be inadvertently exposed unintended recipients. In this paper, we investigate duality, using survey of 86 Egyptian women understand their behavior the design evaluation chat application used by 60 participants....
Undeniably, the design and construction of tools to support task execution marked a turning point in our development as species society. Some even argue that this defines transition intelligent beings. One most significant consequences is we understand ability change modify environment for benefit comfort. However, it took several thousand years, with advent information computing era, us feel need reflect on how interact relate particular tool, one has enabled transformations environment....
This paper is designed to guide user-centered design professionals in running negotiations of usability cost justification with product owners. The introduces hacks that can be used by convince entrepreneurs or other decision makers invest improvements. traditional cost-justifying approach focuses on emphasizing the potential profits expected. "goal-setting" approach, commonly represents a strong influence investment young, nascent entrepreneurs. new which we are suggesting, about avoiding...
User Centered Designers commonly classify user groups based on national borders. This paper investigates the relationships between other cultural and individual factors that may affect interaction with technology. A survey was conducted 254 participants from Egypt, Germany India to investigate how personality, geographic allocation, cognition gender display of psychological behavior Fundamental Attribution Error. The Error used represent a measurable highlight behavioral differences. In...
