Interaction Research and Design across Times in HCI

Human-Computer Interaction as a discipline has witnessed a steady growth over the last decades and experienced an evolution of different foci of interaction research and interaction design. Interaction research in HCI has been studying the interaction between users and computers to derive user requirements and needs, developing systems, and evaluating the interaction between users and computers with new concepts and systems. Interaction design in HCI has—in a desigernly way—crafted and demonstrated concepts and systems. Insightful works have analysed and charted those evolutions separately. This paper brings interaction research and interaction design together and characterises their evolution across times in a systematic manner based on standardised criteria.
