Georgia Tech, a Top Ten institution at CHI 2015, has accepted research coming from half a dozen labs across the GVU Center and which represents the innovative approaches to this complex discipline.

The 13 papers accepted into this year’s proceedings broadly cover a dynamic range of areas, including Family and Community, Social Media, Crowdsourcing, Interfaces, Privacy and Security, Design and Games.
