Scope:

The International Conference on Human Computer Interaction Theory and Applications aims at becoming a major point of contact between researchers, engineers and practitioners in Human Computer Interaction. The conference will be structured along seventeen main tracks, covering different aspects related to Human Computer Interaction, from User Interfaces to Organic User Interfaces, Haptic Interfaces, Interactive Systems, Interaction Devices, Design and Evaluation, Principles, Theories and Models, User Modeling and User Focus, Paradigms, Usability and Universal Accessibility, Human-Web Interaction, Agents and Human Interaction, Social Aspects of Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Games and Gaming, Human-Computer Interaction in Education and Training, Applications in Medicine and Other Domain Applications.

HUCAPP is part of VISIGRAPP, the 12th International Joint Conference on Computer Vision, Imaging and Computer Graphics Theory and Applications.
Registration to HUCAPP allows free access to all other VISIGRAPP conferences.
