Seachi 2016: Smart Cities for better living with HCI and UX

Smart Cities are proliferating around the world, including in the Southeast Asia region. While many developed countries have started defining their Smart Cities, most Southeast Asian countries are still exploring their own ideal Smart Cities. Consisting of mostly developing countries, the Southeast Asian countries have a need to learn from their own cultural heritage, history, political, economic, social and technological contexts to discover Smart City models that work best for a better living of their residents. In this context, Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and User Experience (UX) approaches may offer a number of value propositions for the learning, reusing, adapting, designing, developing, inventing, innovating, and sustaining Smart Cities and their inhabitants in Southeast Asia. Thus, this full day symposium aims to explore the relationship between HCI, UX and the development of Smart Cities for better living in the Southeast Asian countries in comparison to the Smart Cities around the world.
