Call for papers

The 10th Latin American Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (CLIHC 2021), aims to provide a premier forum that brings together the Latin American and international Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research communities to discuss and share ideas, methods, approaches, and techniques for designing, implementing, and evaluating interactive user experiences. In accordance with previous editions, we believe that HCI must foster the production of technology that can be used by and benefit as many people as possible, enabling intercultural exchange and cooperation between people with different backgrounds and needs.

This year, CLIHC 2021 will take place online and is open to submissions in the following categories:

• Full papers
• Short papers

Authors are invited to prepare and submit articles reporting on research projects, innovative designs, user studies, models of interaction, field studies, case studies, and others. Academics, researchers, practitioners and professionals from industry, as well as undergraduate and graduate students are welcome to participate in the peer-reviewed selection of the works that will be presented online, from Nov. 22 to 24, 2021.

Topics of submissions may cover all aspects of HCI, including, but not limited to

1. Affective computing
2. Brain computer interaction (BCI)
3. CSCW and social computing
4. Design methods
5. Education and HCI
6. Embodied interaction
7. HCI for development (HCI4D)
8. Health and HCI
9. Inclusion and accessibility
10. Innovative user interfaces
11. Interfaces and interaction in games
12. Mobile computing
13. Perception and visualization
14. Human-robot interaction and telepresence
15. User experience (UX) and usability
