HCI4D

A subfield of human-computer interaction that focuses on designing and evaluating interactive technologies specifically for development contexts, addressing the needs of underserved and marginalized communities in low-resource settings. HCI4D research draws on methods from both HCI and ICTD, emphasizing user-centered design, cultural sensitivity, and sustainability. In accessibility, HCI4D perspectives highlight the need for assistive technologies that work within the constraints of limited infrastructure, intermittent connectivity, and diverse cultural practices around disability.
