DIS2008 (Cape Town, South Africa)

DIS 2008 will be hosted in Cape Town, South Africa from 25 February - 27 February 2008.

Previous DIS conferences have been concerned with bringing together people from different disciplines: e.g. Computer Science, Design, Human-Computer Engineering, Psychology, Interaction Design etc. At DIS 2008 we want to bring together people from different cultures and understand how designs and techniques employed in affluent high-technology environments can be translated to relatively poor environments to be used by people with relatively low literacy levels. Due to the prevalence of cellular handsets throughout the continent, many Africans are now having their first experience of interactive technology. We believe that DIS 2008 will be an important step in understanding how to design interactive systems for these new users.
