Mobility

The track centers on studying the human as a user of novel interactive technologies and in novel settings. The intended contribution is two-fold. First, the track will identify new problems and opportunities for mobile human-computer interaction. Second, the track will produce concepts, models, tools, methods, and theories for and of the user and user groups, helping to solve those problems. A key pursuit in the track is gathering high-fidelity data on mobile interaction as it takes place.
