Welcome to Scalable HCI Symposium 2025!

Scalable HCI Symposium 2025 takes place in Shenzhen, China, from 6 to 10 January 2025.

The Scalable HCI Research Symposium is designed to cross pollinate dialogues on Hardware in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), while showcasing Shenzhen's potential as a global innovation hub. Drawing inspiration from influential figures in Open Hardware and Hackerspace movements, like Bunnie Huang and Mitch Altman, the symposium emphasizes the democratization of access to Shenzhen's manufacturing power. This focus is particularly beneficial for communities in developing countries as it amplifies financial accessibility to hardware, but it also paves the way for scaling research to unprecedented dimensions and unexplored territories. In collaboration with leading open hardware industry partners such as Seeed, the symposium provides invaluable insights into these manufacturing intricacies. The recent pandemic has undeniably disrupted global supply chains, but with China's reopening, the symposium offers a timely platform to rediscover and delve into Shenzhen's revitalized ecosystem. Join us for an enlightening journey through the landscape of HCI, where academia meets industry, theory meets practice, and potential meets opportunity.
