Abstract

An annual and highly visible event of the HCI community, the Association for Computing Machinery's Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems CHI demonstrated the state of the art and trends in user interface technology. Even though the April 2009 conference did not focus specifically on visual user interfaces, which form the focus of IJCICG, about two dozen of the contributions-ranging from posters to full papers-presented promising ideas or addressed vital but as yet mostly overlooked issues in graphicsbased interaction. This event review summarizes some of the most interesting of those aspects seen at CHI 2009, and provides a set of event-related references as context.
