We are excited to have been part of the first African conference for Human Computer Interaction (AfriCHI (opens in new tab)) in Nairobi, Kenya, November 21-25, 2016, at the University of Nairobi and the Kempinski Hotel. This is the first conference of its kind that seeks to showcase the finest talent in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and Interaction Design from within and across Africa.
Microsoft was a Lion sponsor and proud to be part of this inaugural effort aimed at widening Africans’ international participation in the practice and study of HCI and Interaction Design, and to advance HCI by increased awareness of designs, tools, inventions, methods, theories and pedagogies for creating or using technology in Africa.
