Abstract

As members of the HCI community we strive to design technologies that will benefit its intended users whether they are children, young adults, or older adults. The focus of this paper is to survey research related to technologies for families. In so doing we selected papers relating to technologies for families from all nine years of Interaction Design and Children (IDC) community (2003-2011) and then papers from the past 16 years of the larger Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) community (1996-2011). We present a survey of the design methods used in these papers. We identify trends in the technologies and identify the need for further exploration in the realm of participatory design for families.
