Through the 2000s design practice increasingly realised that a great user interface – even a great user experience – was not sufficient if the offering was not valued by users and customers. This CHI workshop held in Florence, Italy, explored the territory of ‘value-centered HCI’ searching for ways to accommodate financial and cultural (moral) values into the equation.
