CHI 97 Electronic Publications: Introduction and Overview
Welcome from the Conference Co-Chairs: Looking to the Future
As we come to the end of ACM's 50th anniversary year, SIGCHI joins ACM in
looking to the future-the next 50 years of computing.
CHI 97, "Looking to the Future," poses the questions: What will user
interfaces and the field of human-computer interaction be like 10, 20, 30,
40 or 50 years from now? How will we get there? What are the ramifications
and challenges facing us? How can industry, the research community and
educators work together to provide for the needs of today and the future?
Every year, the CHI Conference has an exciting
program of tutorials, workshops, papers, design
briefings, videos, demonstrations, SIGs, exhibits and much more. As you can
see from this volume, this year continues the tradition.
With the incredible pace of technology, it is seldom we have the time to
pause and reflect on where we are going. CHI 97 offers the chance for
presenters to give visionary statements, and for us all to create an agenda
for the future of our field.
Welcome to CHI 97!
