  • Ubiquitous computing
  • HCI for cloud computing
  • Visualisation, mixed reality and wearable computing
  • Intelligent user interfaces
  • Consideration of affective, emotional and motivational aspects
  • Design and social research methods
  • User interaction issues with the use of ICT in expanding cultural contexts and in all aspects of home, work, play and life
  • Digital arts
  • HCI in games and entertainment
  • HCI in health and welfare
  • HCI in education
  • HCI in Benevolence, including research in areas such as aid and development, human rights, community projects etc.
