The First International School on Human Technology Interaction (HTI2009) will be held in Almen, The Netherlands, during January 26-30 2009.

 

Our environments and the products inhabiting these spaces become increasingly dynamic and interactive. A growing variety of consumer and professional products is being equipped with sensors, data storage capacity, information processing technology, actuators and new display technologies. Advancements in network and wireless communication technology begin to make it feasible to connect such products into smart environments that can sense and reason about user intentions, experiences and emotions in a natural setting and react and anticipate accordingly. In these smart environments humans will be continuously connected to each other and information will be available anytime everywhere. In order to investigate how these new technologies can be geared to the needs and wishes of humans, one should focus on the technological development, the human-product interaction and the changing role of humans as individuals and as community members.

 

This will be the first school in a row in which we will explore these issues. This first school will present a broad multidisciplinary view of how fundamental insights into human physical and cognitive capabilities can be used to design human-centered technologies that can collaborate symbiotically with humans to enhance human capabilities well outside the range of normal biological variation.
