Inclusion . Resilience . New Normal

Chinese CHI 2022, organized by International Chinese Association of Computer Human Interaction (ICACHI), will take place in Guangzhou, China, on October 22–23, 2022, in a hybrid online and in-person format. Its theme is Inclusion, Resilience, and New Normal.

Organized by International Chinese Association of Computer Human Interaction (ICACHI), this academic conference has become an important meeting point for Chinese HCI scholars, academia, and industry worldwide. Since 2012, Chinese CHI has been successfully held in Paris, Toronto, Seoul, Silicon Valley, Guangzhou, Montreal, and Xiamen. Papers from previous conferences are included in the ACM Digital Library and submitted for EI indexing.

As the global pandemic continues, humanity again stands at a historical crossroads, while economic globalization shows renewed resilience. In response to this evolving global challenge, this conference seeks to explore the value, significance, and social contribution of human–computer interaction in the post-pandemic era.

Interaction Design Workshops ​

Interaction Design Workshop

  • The conference invites corporate design and development teams, advanced doctoral students, and university research groups to use the Chinese CHI 2022 human–computer interaction conference workshops to share recent human–computer interaction technologies and research methods, exchange experience and findings, and inform future research.
  • Chinese CHI 2022 particularly encourages two types of workshop proposal:
  • - Interaction Platform Workshops: Companies or individuals provide development platforms, open-source tools, or design tools, such as Google's tensorflow.js, Huawei's Data Lake Visualization platform, or the CARLA open-source driving simulator. Participants develop creative ideas and rapidly build interactive prototypes or design proposals for discussion. The outcomes can inform organizers' research.
  • - Co-Design Workshops: Companies or individuals propose discussion topics based on their research methods or projects, such as data-driven design, data visualization, explainable AI, human–AI collaboration, or smart glasses. Participants brainstorm, develop creative ideas, and produce rapid sketches and proposals for cross-discussion. Outcomes can help companies or individuals evaluate their research methods.
  • Chinese CHI 2022 workshops may last half a day or a full day and are expected to take place before the main conference on October 22–23, 2022, in a hybrid format. Each workshop is expected to have 8–15 participants**.**

Digital Art Exhibition ​

Digital Arts Gallery

  • The conference invites practitioners, researchers, and students in art and design to submit digital artwork proposals to the Chinese CHI 2022 human–computer interaction conference's Digital Art Exhibition, which will take place on-site and online.
  • The Chinese CHI 2022 Digital Art Exhibition aims to create a highly inclusive interdisciplinary space for new media art, novel interaction technologies, original conceptual designs, smart product demonstrations, experimental audiovisual works, explorations of materiality, games, and other interactive experiences. Within its thematic framework, the exhibition fosters meaningful exchanges among exhibitors to enrich, extend, or reframe relationships between art, design, and technology.
  • A committee of experienced experts in relevant fields, to be announced later, will review all submissions. Selected works will be archived in the Chinese CHI 2022 Digital Art Exhibition yearbook, and authors will receive an ICACHI exhibition award certificate.

Sponsorship Invitation ​

Organized by International Chinese Association of Computer Human Interaction (ICACHI), Chinese CHI has become an important conference connecting Chinese HCI scholars, academia, and industry worldwide.

Since 2012, nine editions of Chinese CHI have been held in Paris, Toronto, Seoul, Silicon Valley, Guangzhou, Montreal, and Xiamen.

Chinese CHI 2017 and 2019, hosted in China by Guangdong University of Technology and Xiamen University, attracted more than 2,000 HCI practitioners and researchers, including professionals from over 50 technology companies such as Huawei, Baidu, Tencent, Microsoft, and Google, and professors from over 60 universities including Tsinghua University, Tongji University, Beijing Normal University, and Jiangnan University. This year's conference is expected to attract even more academic and industry participants.

On behalf of the organizing committee, we warmly invite your company to participate in and sponsor Chinese CHI 2022. Sponsorship will strengthen your connections with the global human–computer interaction research community, enhance your brand, and open new markets.
