Welcome to Fortaleza!
Friday, January 2nd, 2009 by Carlos RosembergFortaleza, located in the northeastern corner of Brazil, is the capital city of the State of Ceará and one of the five biggest cities of the country. Inside and outside Brazil, Fortaleza is mostly recognized by the combination of its natural beauties (sun, beaches, wind), great nightlife, delicious culinary, rich culture and the very peaceful and friendly people.
Regarding UX, Fortaleza researchers and professionals have good interest and participation in the Brazilian HCI/UX scene. In 2002, we hosted the 5th Symposium on Human Factors in Computer Systems (IHC2002), the leading Brazilian forum for the exchange of ideas and information about human-computer interaction. And recently, in late 2008, we’ve got together to create an on-line community called IHCeara, with broad participation of local researchers, students, professionals and other interested people. Our first result as community was the organization of WUD 2008, which had good acceptance.
