Proceedings of the 12th Annual Conference of the New Zealand Chapter of the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to CHINZ 2011, the 12th annual conference of the New Zealand Chapter of the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction. We also welcome you to Hamilton and the University of Waikato. CHINZ continues to be the premier conference for Human-Computer Interaction researchers and practitioners in New Zealand. The CHINZ annual conference series is also recognised by the international HCI community as being of value in disseminating research work. This is demonstrated this year, as in previous years, by the many contributions we have received from outside New Zealand, including those from Australia, Europe, and North America. CHINZ 2011 reflects this diversity in the variety of HCI research papers that have been accepted for presentation as part of the conference programme. We received 30 submissions, of which 12 have been accepted as Full Paper, and 6 as Short Paper presentations.
