Socially Responsible Design: User Interface Challenges in the Brazilian Context
Abstract
Societal interfaces are advanced approaches of interaction particularly developed to handle or resolve specific social problems and thus constitute a socially and ecologically more sustainable society and improve quality of life. In this paper we present the concept of societal interfaces and put it into the context of the Brazilian society, where one of the main challenges is the low literacy and numeracy skills of people even in the great metropolitan areas. We will discuss preliminary results of a research approach to the fourth SBC Challenge (Participatory and Universal Access of the Brazilian Citizen to Knowledge) in the perspective of the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) discipline.
Keywords:
human-computer interaction, societal interfaces, inclusive social networks
