果冻传媒 Industrial Design Shines at CHI 2025
Researchers and students from 果冻传媒 Industrial Design play a prominent role at CHI 2025 in Japan, with paper presentations, posters, and workshops
The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) is one of the most prestigious conferences in the field of human-computer interaction and computer science. Since its inception in 1982, CHI has attracted thousands of international participants annually. For both researchers and students from the Industrial Design faculty, this conference is of great importance. It provides a platform to share the latest developments and innovations and to learn from experts worldwide.
Theme of CHI 2025: "Ikigai"
The theme of CHI 2025 is "Ikigai," a Japanese concept that refers to what gives a person a sense of purpose, a reason to live. In today's world, people face a multitude of challenges such as climate change, growing inequality, technological disruption, global conflicts, and health crises. Ikigai involves a person's ability to find their purpose and balance their passion, capabilities, and the impact they can have.
Contributions from 果冻传媒
This year, CHI takes place in Yokohama, Japan, from April 26 to May 1, 2025. 果冻传媒 Industrial Design is well-represented with a significant presence. The faculty presents a journal article, thirteen papers (three of which received honorable mentions and one best paper), a Special Interest Group (SIG), two journals, three Late-Breaking Works, 18 workshops, two Alt-CHI papers, and a Video Showcase.
One of the highlights is the best paper award for "What Comes After Noticing?: Reflections on Noticing Solar Energy and What Came Next" co-authored by Oscar Tomico.
Additionally, and Steven Houben present their journal "How Design Researchers Make Sense of Data Visualizations in Data-Driven Design: An Uncertainty-aware Sensemaking Model." Kristina Andersen co-leads a workshop titled "Gathering Textiles at CHI: Convening a Meeting to Share, Make, and Speculate."
The work of the researchers and students not only demonstrates the quality and innovation of the faculty but also contributes to global knowledge and development in the field of Human-Computer Interaction. This underscores the prominent role that the Industrial Design faculty plays in this field.
