OpenHCI 2011 with proceedings



OpenHCI 2011 is the 2nd workshop on HCI held in National Taiwan University. This workshop was initiated and organized by graduate students of National Taiwan University and National Taiwan University of Science and Technology. The main purposes of this workshop are opening the potential power of cross-disciplinary communication and collaboration and the preliminary knowledge of user experience engineering (UXE) and human-centered design (HCD).

More than 100 student participants join this event. Attendees are from different domains such as information engineering, industrial design, psychology, business, and administration.

In this 5-day workshop, all attendees have tutorials and courses about HCI design processes and principles in 9 different topics. We also develop a series of post-lesson activities and labs for attendees to familiar these principles by practices. Through the complete training, all the attendees would experience several user-centered design iterations, collaborate with their cross-domain partners, and implement interactive prototypes for realizing their concepts.

For those who are interested in HCI development in taiwan, the OpenHCI workshop brings the cross-boundary and innovative concepts for reflective thinking which shows the chances in interdisciplinary teams, and also found the frontier force in design and computer science.

IxD Demo Party基本上是IxD的一個延伸的活動,主要是提供一個發表​創意成果的地方,讓有作品想發表的設計師多一個討論的試煉場所,​所以相當歡迎不管是學生、SOHO、業界都可以來一同分享。

目前規劃:每月一場,每場約4~5組,每組12分鐘發表,其餘就​是自由討論的時刻。未來也會將發表影片剪輯上傳並記錄下精采的對​談資訊。

即日起開放報名Demo,歡迎自薦、推薦通通一起來!

IxD Demo Party is an extensive activity for presenting your original ideas, sharing prototypes, and providing an interactive forum to all designer, artist, students, SOHO, and someone who may interest. We will bring one Demo Party

COSCUP is the largest annual FLOSS conference organized by local communities in Taiwan. The conference has sessions for new users, enthusiastic promoters, coders or anyone who is interested in cutting-edge FLOSS technologies. The goal is to create a friendly and informative environment for people from different communities to make friends, learn new technologies and inspire each other.

COSCUP 2011 Program announced!


The main theme of COSCUP 2011 is “Gadgets beyond Smartphones”. Phones based on Google's open source Android operating system are leading the market in the U.S., U.K., France, Germany and Japan. Besides smartphones, the introduction of the tablet-only Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) has spurred many analysts to predict that the wave of tablets this year will be dominated by Android-based devices. The adoption of open source software doesn't stop there. Televisions, set-top boxes, in-car information systems, medical hand-held devices are all being built with open source software — Google TV and Next TV's popular set-top box in Taiwan are just 2 such examples. It is clear that the open source paradigm has established a strong foothold in the device space.

2011 Interactive Experience Design & Digital Archive/Service Application Conference (IXDDA)



2011 IXDDAThe focus of design concept has been changing from the interface to the interaction. This paradigm shift reflects the rapid evolution of relationship between digital technologies and human beings in the past few years. While the workspace gives place to the daily life context, and individual activities are replaced by the group coordination as the locale designed for, the system design aims now the emotional and sensual appeal instead of the cognitive and rational provision, and extends the emphasis on usability to a holistic user experience. Nevertheless, the interplay among human beings, the technology and the environment remains central to the interaction design.

For interactive experience design, the mission to understand users’ needs and to facilitate productive and satisfactory services through technologies has never been absent.Upholding the core mission of interactive experience design, this conference is committed to bring together all the researchers and practitioners of related fields, as well as to promote the digital content services and innovative application. With the “Interactive Experience Design” and the “Digital Content Application” as targeted areas.
