Abstract

The focus of the research in human-computer interaction (HCI) continues to expand. One example of this is the growing interest in national and ethnic culture as a research topic. In this review, we examine the emerging field of cultural HCI by systematically analysing culture-related literature from five major HCI forums and past sixteen years. We focus on research methodology, technologies and cultures covered, theoretical underpinnings and referencing practices. We also discuss problems found on the basis of the review and provide perspectives on the future research into cultural issues.
