ICACHI Conference: Intelligent Transportation and Internet of Things Forum
Chinese CHI 2017, hosted by Guangdong University of Technology, will take place on June 7–9, 2017, in Guangzhou, China.
Increasingly diverse relationships between people, vehicles, and roads will give rise to groundbreaking driving and passenger experiences. More complex future transport scenarios and easier access to driving will depend on innovative forms of human–computer interaction enabled by intelligent transportation technologies.
The Intelligent Transportation and Internet of Things forum at CHCI 2017 invites leading figures from businesses, universities, and research communities to share recent developments and discuss ubiquitous intelligent transportation and human–computer interaction in the IoT era.
Forum Organizer and Moderator
Fei Hu, PhD, professor, Young Changjiang Scholar, and executive vice dean of the School of Art and Design at Guangdong University of Technology
