HCI International 2021

24 - 29 July 2021 - Held virtually

HCI International 2021, the 23rd International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, was held from 24 to 29 July 2021, under the auspices of 21 distinguished international boards of 469 Members from 54 Countries. The conference was planned to be held at the Washington Hilton Hotel, Washington DC, USA, but due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic and with everyone’s health and safety in mind, HCII2021 has been organized to run as a virtual conference.

The conference program was adapted to suit the needs of its virtual format. Parallel sessions and tutorials run concurrently over the six-day period (24-29 July 2021). In this way, the daily load of the conference was four hours (two sessions, two-hours each, with a half-hour break in-between).

Over 2,150 individuals from 81 countries registered to attend this year's conference.

We were privileged to have Professor Michitaka Hirose, The University of Tokyo, Japan, joining us as the keynote speaker at the opening plenary session. His speech was entitled: “Advances in VR Technology and the Post-Coronavirus Society”.

We would like to thank each and every one of the Conference participants for their valuable contribution towards the success of this Conference.

We are hopeful that the current situation with the pandemic will improve and allow us to meet each other in person next year for the HCII 2022 conference, scheduled to take place at the Gothia Towers Hotel and Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre, Gothenburg, Sweden, 26 June – 1 July 2022.
