OzCHI 2026: 38th Australian Computer Human Interaction Conference

OzCHI is Australasia's leading forum for the latest in HCI research and practice. OzCHI attracts a broad international community of researchers, industry practitioners, academics and students. Participants typically come from more than 25 countries and from a range of backgrounds, including interface designers, user experience experts, information architects, software engineers, human factors specialists, information systems analysts and social scientists. We welcome international submissions and participation. We encourage submissions and participation from industry.

OzCHI this year embraces the theme “On the Edge”, inviting us to examine human–computer interaction at the precipice of new frontiers—where capability sits at the tipping point of future human-computer interaction. It also calls attention to interaction at its limits: the edge of human experience, the design of systems for extreme use cases, and the boundaries of inclusion—questioning where we sit and who is left out. Ultimately, the theme is framed as operating on the edge of certainty, binaries, and future possibilities toward what comes next for people, systems, and environments.
