Research methods in Mobile HCI: trends and opportunities

Published: 21 September 2012 Publication History

Abstract

This panel addresses the past, present and future of mobile HCI research in terms of methods and focus. The panel takes its offset in a new literature survey following up from Kjeldskov and Graham's survey from Mobile HCI 2003 [6]. Based on this, and their own experiences, the panelists will outline and discuss their views on current methodological trends in mobile HCI research, and suggest and discuss what opportunities they see for responding to these trends and pushing the research field further forward.
