The WEL presence at major HCI conference

The members of the Web Ergonomics Lab recently presented several papers at the major Human-Computer Interaction Conference, CHI 2014. CHI attracts around 3500 attendees from industry and academia every year and its technical programme is known to be the showcase of the year's breakthroughs in the field. The contributions of the WEL to the programme cover a broad range of topics, including multiple displays and interactive television.

"HCI over multiple screens" by Andy Brown, Michael Evans, Caroline Jay, Maxine Glancy, Rhianne Jones and Simon Harper is a joint work that is the product of the collaboration of the WEL and the BBC. Based on the empirical experience of the authors, the paper explores an approach to do human factors research when individuals interact with several devices such as tablets, smartphones and TV sets.
