What are the biggest advances to come out of academic HCI in the past 20 years?
-
The focus on "academic" hci might be misplaced. HCI may be a field where the best advances don't come from academic approaches yet. Most fields advance via practice for the first years/decades they exist.
That's why I'm asking specifically about academic HCI: I want to better understand what academic HCI has produced, for purposes of comparison.
