Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, both human–computer interaction (HCI) and information and interaction design have had exponential growth.

Human–computer interaction involves the study, planning, and design of the interaction between people (users) and computers. Information and interaction design is the practice of understanding users’ needs and goals, designing tools for users to achieve those goals, and envisioning all states and transitions of the system considering limitations of the user’s environment and technology.

As both HCI and interaction design are multidisciplinary in nature, the new directions they explore are strongly influenced by cutting-edge developments in technology.

In this Special Issue, we want to focus on new user-centered methods and tools that support the design of interactive systems that are based on emergent technologies and insights from the social and behavioral sciences. We invite authors to submit original manuscripts that present breakthroughs in conceptual, theoretical, methodological, and practical research on a broad range of topics, including but not limited to:

• Theories and concepts to understand people in the use of digital artifacts;
• Design and implementation of novel digital artifacts/applications that apply emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Data analytics, the Internet of Things, and VR/AR;
• Evaluation of novel interaction techniques and tools;
• Novel methodologies and approaches in HCI/design;
• Social aspects of HCI/design with emerging technologies.
