The Future of Technology-Oriented HCI Research - What's Changed and What's Ahead

Explore the future of technology-oriented Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research in this extended talk by Scott E Hudson, recipient of the SIGCHI Lifetime Research Award. Delve into the evolving landscape of technological opportunities and their impact on HCI research. Examine the ongoing relevance of Moore's Law and its implications for computing power. Engage with thought experiments that challenge common perceptions about technological advancement. Discover exemplars of research directions that embrace a "new future" perspective. Reflect on methodological approaches in HCI work and consider how they might adapt to future challenges. Gain insights into potential research areas, including ubiquitous computing, uncertain interactions, low-power devices, new materials, and interactive generative design. Contemplate the future of usability and the exciting possibilities that lie ahead in technical HCI research.
