Concepts, Values, and Methods for Technical Human-Computer Interaction Research

Technical HCI research seeks to improve the world by expanding the set of things that can be done with computational systems. This chapter considers this work as invention—the creation of new things—contrasted with activities of discovery which are concerned more with understanding the world. We discuss the values, goals, and criteria for success in this approach. Technical HCI research includes both directly contributing to some human need and indirectly contributing by enabling other technical work with things like toolkits.
