Workshop at NordiCHI 2012 ( http://nordichi2012.org/ http://nordichi2012.org/ ) Workshop Website: http://yasuoka.dk/cfp/

The objective of the Cultural Impact workshop at NordiCHI 2012 is to share our experiences, identify themes, and examine unexplored topics about cultural impact on User Experience (UX) design and evaluation methods. The expected result is an establishment of an international community on this topic for collective learning.

By accumulating knowledge through the international community, ultimately the workshop and the community will contribute to emerging demands to understand UX in services and products design domains internationally.

[Themes and goals] http://yasuoka.dk/cfp/themes-goals/ http://yasuoka.dk/cfp/themes-goals/

This is an active, interdisciplinary workshop encouraging dialogue between researchers and practitioners who are interested in the issues regarding cultural impact on User Experience design and evaluation methods.

This workshop aims at extending our understandings and lead to practical recommendations for people applying User Experience methods.

The workshop has six goals; 1. Share each other?s current findings and experiences to open up an international dialogue of design and User Experience Methods in different cultural settings. 2. Discuss the variety of culture conceptions relied on in the existing HCI research and their implications on the assumed cultural impact in the methods. 3. Explore UX methods? specific adaptability + Which UX methods can be transferred from one context to another? + Which UX methods have to be localized largely? + Which UX methods can hardly be adapted in other social contexts? + What does it entail to localize a UX method to fit a cultural context in question? + What does it mean to enculturate a UX method in a specific cultural context; how has it been or how will it be modified or interpreted in practice? 4. Examine unexplored topics on cultural impacts on User Experience design and evaluation methods; + What could be interesting to investigate? + What is beneficial to investigate in multiple cultural settings? 5. Establish an international network and community. 6. Create a shortlist that can be basis for a proposal for a special issue, e.g., CSCW journal or other design related journals.
