Where HCI meets ACI

Abstract

This one day workshop examines the interactions and the space between HCI (Human Computer Interaction) and ACI (Animal Computer Interaction) focusing on the transferability of methods and ideas between the two fields. The workshop will begin with short presentations followed by plenary discussions. The aim is to strengthen connected thinking whilst highlighting the exchangeable connecting methods from both ACI and HCI and their subfields including Child Computer Interaction (CCI) and Human Robot Interaction (HRI), discussing what these fields learn from each other with their similarities and differences mapped. The output of this workshop will be an initial mapping of the ACI and HCI field's interchange of methods and learning transferability as well as an advanced understanding of how the two fields are useful to each other.
