12.0pt'>The diversity of <st1:place w:st="on">Latin America</st1:place> is
evident in its people, culture, geography, history and perspectives. This
conference aims at capturing this richness within the context of those
researchers and practitioners from and in Latin American working in the area of
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). The conference will serve as a venue for the
inter-change of ideas, methods, approaches and techniques of those aiming at
designing interactive experiences for the people of <st1:place w:st="on">Latin
America</st1:place>. It has its origin in two previous editions of the Latin
American Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (CLIHC): In 2003 in <st1:City
w:st="on">Rio de Janeiro</st1:City>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Brazil</st1:country-region>
and in 2005 in <st1:City w:st="on">Cuernavaca</st1:City>, <st1:country-region
w:st="on">Mexico</st1:country-region> and in 2007 in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Rio de Janeiro</st1:City>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Brazil</st1:country-region></st1:place>.
Following the spirit of these previous editions, we acknowledge that in the HCI
field, not only should we reach for technology that can be used and appreciated
by the widest range of people, but also for means to promote inter-cultural exchange
and cross-fertilization among people with diverse backgrounds and needs. The
workshop is open to all topics and disciplines related to HCI. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
