We had a great time at CHI, the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems in Barcelona, the leading international conference on Human-Computer Interaction. Members from CXL presented 4 posters, took part in workshops and the Student Mentoring Program, and gave 2 talks at the pre-CHI Fringe event organised by Northumbria University.
Here are some pictures and below are links to the publications in the open-access ACM Digital Library.
