Our 20yr old daughter is off to study for 3 years to the Netherlands, where we first moved to 23 years ago, almost to the day (18/8/2002). As she hugged me goodbye she said “dad, thanks for all the help ❤️” 🥹

It's amazing to have the book in my hand now, after several years of working on it with Kasper and Per Ola.
In a nutshell, it's a new textbook for introductory-level HCI courses:
✅ 10 parts, covering the whole HCI process
✅ 864 pages and 1.9 kgs
✅ Open access (!)

DL just around the corner! Apply by May 15 if you're interested in advancing research on theory translation and games
Is your PhD research on game design, game production, HCI, or design theory? I've got three 2-year postdoc positions in my ERC StG project to investigate what makes theory useful and usable in game design / interaction design.
Reposts much appreciated. Thx!

Ok, so apparently CHInosaur was active on the other site during #chi2025.
For a while, I thought CHInosaur had evolved into @chiyote.bsky.social. Perhaps not?

If you are at #chi2025 you should go to an altchi session. It’s the last time altchi will ever run and your last opportunity to see its joy, creativity, and alterity. There is nothing like it

Please note that the walk from Minatorimai station (1), to Pacifico Yokohama North (2) to pick up your #chi2025 badge, and the National Convention Hall (3) for the opening plenary is easily a 15-25 minute walk.
