Abstract

Mobile phones constitute the most ubiquitous computing platform in the developing world, and for the past decade it has been focus of many research efforts within Human Computer Interaction for Development (HCI4D). HCI4D has matured through a series of previous HCI related conferences and workshops and a growing body of work have established it as subfield of its own [1][2][4][5][6].

We believe it is now time to focus on more specific topics within this subfield and this workshop is dedicated to one such topic; namely how the next wave of more sophisticated mobile handsets will enable new interaction forms and interfaces, and how this can be use to create more natural ways of interacting with mobile ICTs.

The aim of this workshop is to discuss the current (and near-future) technologies and create a research agenda for how we can design, implement and evaluate new and more natural interaction forms and interfaces for mobile devices. The ultimate goal is to lower the technical and literacy barriers and get relevant information, applications and services out to the next billion users.

Intermediated technology use in developing communities
CHI '10: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

We describe a prevalent mode of information access in low-income communities of the developing world--intermediated interactions. They enable persons for whom technology is inaccessible due to non-literacy, lack of technology-operation skills, or ...
Communication and computing in health facilities of southwest Uganda
CHI EA '10: CHI '10 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Mobile phones are often pitched as the solution for Africa's development. This study examines the social changes entailed by the introduction of new technologies into a health subsidy program, and compares mobile phones and netbooks side by side in ...
Designing a phone broadcasting system for urban sex workers in India
CHI '11: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

In this paper, we present the design, implementation, and deployment of a phone-based broadcasting system designed for reaching out to at-risk populations in urban India. We worked in collaboration with Pragati, a non-governmental organization dedicated ...
