The HCI Index is a curated guide to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) literature, designed to make academic research accessible and engaging for designers and enthusiasts alike. It's a passion project aimed at distilling seminal HCI papers into simplified outlines, fostering understanding and sparking curiosity within the field.
This project was born from a fascination with the rich history and academic research behind HCI and interaction design. It aims to lower the barriers to accessing dense, technical academic literature, providing a starting point for those new to the field or looking for inspiration.
Developed using Next.js and styled with Tailwind CSS, the site leverages Supabase for backend needs. AI, specifically OpenAI's GPT-4, played a crucial role in suggesting influential papers and generating summaries. The project also experiments with semantic search to surface relevant content, demonstrating the potential of modern AI and full-stack development to enhance access to HCI knowledge.
We welcome contributions from the community. Whether it's adding new summaries, improving existing content, or suggesting new features, your input helps make HCI Index a richer resource for everyone interested in the intersection of humans and technology.
