“…Other literature reviews have examined UX-related trends from research in specific disciplines: human-computer interaction (Hooper & Dix, 2012); research involving particular technologies, such as mobile devices and applications (de Sá & Carriço, 2011;Hao et al, 2016;Ismail et al, 2016;Kjeldskov & Graham, 2003), virtual reality (VR) and artificial reality (AR) (Kim, 2012), automatic teller machines (Mkpojiogu & Asuquo, 2018), and smart homes (Kim et al, 2013); and research trends in particular cultures (Kurosu et al, 2004).…”

User experience (UX) researchers in technical communication (TC) and beyond still need a clear picture of the methods used to measure and evaluate UX. This article charts current UX methods through a systematic literature review of recent publications (2016–2018) and a survey of 52 UX practitioners in academia and industry. Our results indicate that contemporary UX research favors mixed methods, and that usability testing is especially popular in both published research and our survey results. This article presents these findings as a snapshot of contemporary research methods for UX.

“…The potential contribution of explicitly local or indigenous perspectives, approaches, and experiences with HCI tends to remain unknown, e.g. [4]. The literature reviewed so far reports on case studies where user involvement and developer-client relations are shaped by invisible power relations embedded in artefacts and transactions scripted in design and development methods and how situations of breakdown or empirical [e,g, 18,19].…”

An argument is presented for the use of the concepts of Micro-Politics and Semiotic Power by Bijker, and Infrastructural Inversion by Bowker to understand the geopolitical dynamics of career-building, knowledge and value creation in the field of human computer interaction (HCI). This is illustrated with brief references to examples of HCI academic and professional practice and dissemination in local and global contexts. It is shown how local and global micro-politically dominant groups in the HCI field can construct scripts that define quality, impact and relevance. These scripts in turn have a direct effect in career-building and what is considered valid and useful knowledge and practice. The political leverage of these scripts is therefore embedded in artefacts used for different types of transactions in the HCI field. Infrastructural inversion is finally presented as a possible framework to deconstruct and make visible these scripts and the different types of historical and political tensions inscribed in them at disciplinary, local, national, regional and global level.

“…To progress this research we must start by better understanding relationships between HCI concepts and methods and their meanings to local and indigenous groups. Universal perspectives on HCI like ethnology and ethnography, for example, technomethodology (Button & Dourish, 1996), and national culture models (Hofstede, 2001) and activity theory (Kaptelinin & Nardi, 2006), have all had an impact in the design of interactive systems for culturally different users, but the potential contribution of explicitly local or indigenous perspectives, approaches, and experiences with HCI (see, e.g., Kurosu et al, 2004) have not become so clear and uniform. Furthermore, the idea of what constitutes a useful and usable system in different cultural contexts remains partially explored at the very least.…”

Abstract. This one-day workshop aims to present different local and indigenous perspectives from all over the world in order to lead into an international dialogue on re-framing concepts and models in HCI/Interaction Design. The target audience is HCI researchers and practitioners who have experience with working with culture and HCI. The expected outcome of the workshop is a) network building among the participants, b) a shortlist of papers that can be basis for a proposal for a special issue of the UAIS journal, and c) identify opportunities to develop a funded network or research proposal.
