What You Seek is Seeking You: Interview with Apala Chavan

Apala Chavan is one of the top user experience and usability professionals. She is co-founder of the HFI, a member of the ACM Publications Board, and chair of the design and innovation committee of the IAMAI, and finally an expert member of the Academic Council at Vidyashilp University. I met her during an HCII (online) session on Intercultural HMI design last summer. She sees culture as not only geographical, but also based on wealth. Her focus of work is on the integration of the poor into technology use cases. Are you aware, that 12% of humanity is rich, and these 12% design technology for 100% of the humans?
