Many people spend more waking hours with their computers in a given day than they do with their families or friends. Ever wonder exactly how that relationship works? For the folks at INTERACT, that’s the driving question. Understanding how humans and computers interact is key to driving progress in IT departments and design labs around the globe, and this year’s theme of “research and practice” aims to ensure we’re not just talking about making better machines, but that we’re actually doing it.
