InContext: Futuring User-Experience Design Tools
A workshop at CHI 2022, New Orleans, Sunday 1st May.
Please submit your position papers at the link below!
Technology is changing, which means the design processes supporting it must also change. Digital tools for user experience and interaction design are vital in enabling designers to create appropriate, enjoyable and functional human-computer experiences, and so will necessarily evolve alongside our technological development. This workshop aims to support the futuring of user experience and user interfaces, and will engage with stakeholders, practicing designers, researchers, UI students and educators in order to understand better the needs for next-generation design tools. We will envisage new forms of design tools that encourage best practice, for example, linking representations, analysis tools, just-in-time evidence, physicality, experience, and crucially, put context at the centre of design.
We (Meet the Team) are hosting a workshop aiming to support the futuring of user experience and user interfaces, and will engage with stakeholders, practicing designers, researchers, students and educators in order to understand better the needs for next-generation design tools. The workshop will combine presentations, hands-on practical experiences (in person and online), and group discussions to both create a user experience design tools futures manifesto, and the formation of a working group to share best practice and research. InContext will be a one day, hybrid workshop to be held at CHI 2022.
To take part, please submit a 4 −6 page position paper based upon the theme of The Future of User Experience Design Tools, either in ACM paper or pictorial format (e.g. Creativity & Cognition cc.acm.org/2022/pictorials/). User Experience is not simply about text, so we invite you to use the formats creatively.
Position papers and pictorials will be judged on appropriateness to the call, novelty, and openness to possibility. All accepted position papers will be hosted and maintained on the InContext website. Following CHI Guidelines all participants must register for both the workshop and for at least one day of the conference.
Please submit your submissions to EasyChair by 4th March 2022 (5pm BST) using the following link:

Review notifications will be given by 11th March 2022.
