MHCI is a highly anticipated conference due to the popularity of the fields. MHCI is set to become an exciting event with the potential for continued growth throughout the years. MHCI is designed to bring together, researchers active in the two fields (and related sub-fields) to foster an environment conducive to exchanging ideas, information and research. This is especially important since these fields can largely benefit from increased collaboration as interactive multimedia is becoming a rather dominant field of technology. By bridging the gap between multimedia and HCI, this will allow for a deeper understanding of the two fields and understand their importance in our future.
