What is Interaction-Design.org?

Interaction-Design.org is all about making research accessible. We deal with human-centered aspects of technology: Interaction Design, User Experience (UX), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Information Architecture (IA), Human Factors, Usability, and related fields.

We make research accessible through our 4 sections:

  1. an Open Content, peer-reviewed Encyclopedia.
  2. a conference calendar, which is used on several other websites through our ICAL interface.
  3. a comprehensive bibliography with the most authoritative publications within the disciplines above.
  4. "misDesigns" - short examples of defective designs tied to research themes.

We believe in Open Content and use the Creative Commons Copyright Licences, which makes the content of this website in effect the property of our community, not of this specific website.
