Interaction design in India: past, present and future

In many parts of the world, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) emerged as an interdisciplinary activity between the fields of Computer Science, Cognitive Psychology and / or Human Factors. Elsewhere, the field of Information Sciences gave birth to the discipline now recognized as Information Architecture (IA). In India however, it emerged as Interaction Design, largely based in the field of Design. In this paper, I talk about this experience, give a summary of current status in industry and research and suggest an agenda for the future, particularly for interaction design education. Categories and subject descriptors: H.5.2 [Information Interfaces and Presentation]: User Interfaces; K.3.2 [Computers and Education]: Computer and Information Science Education General Terms: Design, Human factors
