Human-Computer Interaction – INTERACT 2023 (INTERACT 2023)

Abstract

Cultural heritage is often questioned for its relevance or criticized for representing an incomplete picture of the past. Interactive technologies can bring up new viewpoints, and alternative narratives, or intensify or provoke the user experience when cultural heritage is accessed. They can be utilized in contextualized built environments, which foster meaningful experiences, understanding, and relationships. Our workshop aims at identifying design approaches from a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) perspective for the re-contextualization of built environments through the discussion and co-design with participants. Furthermore, approaches should enable the critical discourse about and increase inclusive access and shaping of cultural heritage. The workshop targets HCI researchers focusing on cultural heritage and urban or human-building interaction design.
