The AMCIS 2026 HCI Track will provide a forum for AIS members to present, discuss, and explore a wide range of issues related to Human-Computer Interaction and Information Systems. Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is an interdisciplinary area that has attracted researchers, educators, and practitioners from several disciplines. It essentially deals with the design, evaluation, adoption, and use of information technology, with a common focus on improved user performance and experience. New and exciting research opportunities are emerging, including issues and challenges concerning people’s interactions with various information technologies (including recent developments in smart devices, AR and VR, etc.), their development, and responsible use, that can be examined from an organizational, managerial, psychological, social, or cultural perspective. This track welcomes papers that aim at advancing our understanding of human-computer interaction at the individual, work group, organization, or society levels. Submissions may use any type of research method.
