Abstract : This special interest group aims to further the understanding of the
challenges related to the design and evaluation of digital interactive artifacts in
small and emerging economies. Computing is at one of its most exciting moments,
playing an essential role in supporting human activities, facilitated by
the growing availability of services, devices and interaction modalities. Moreover,
with the evolution from the large-scale computing to the contemporary
ubiquitous computing, users were brought from the periphery to the center of an
emerging pervasive socio-technical system, which pulled the inherent interaction
paradigms through the successive waves of the personal, networked, collaborative,
mobile, augmented and virtual reality interaction paradigms.
Notwithstanding, in many small and emerging economies, interactive systems
are still being designed and evaluated without fully taking into account our
cognitive abilities, giving little or no consideration to the ways we perceive and
handle information, go about our work and life, create and maintain social relations,
and use our cultural context and relate to our environment, thus failing to
realized the technology’s potential.
