Report from MobileHCI 2011
September 3rd, 2011 by David Furendal
Screen Interaction attended MobileHCI 2011, the 13th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and Services. This year the conference was held at Münchenbryggeriet in the Screen Interaction home town of Stockholm, Sweden.
We met a lot of interesting people from all over the world that are doing research within the field of mobile interaction design. At the conference Swedish eye-tracking pioneers Tobii showed some really interesting solutions for eye-tracking of mobile services. For more info about this check out their blog post.
After the conference, Mobile Life Centre had a great event a few blocks from the Screen Interaction office. People from Mobile Life Centre did presentations and talked about different studies and papers. At least some of the projects can be found on their website.
One of the highlights was a collection of prototypes from 10-15 year old research studies. Even if a lot have happened during the last decade many of the concepts that was research back then are part of popular mobile services today. Another great presentation was a study about Vanuatu and how one of the last groups of users on earth started using mobile phones. Check out the paper if you want to read some cool mobile academic research!
Thanks a lot to Mobile Life Centre, SICS, and Stockholm University for a great arrangement this year and see you next year at MobileHCI 2012 in San Fransisco!
