We are MOCHI, the Southern Michigan Northern Ohio Local Special Interest Group in Computer Human Interaction (SIGCHI) of the Association for Computing Machinery. The scope of our chapter is broadly defined to include assessment, design, evaluation and implementation of computing technology to facilitate work, education, entertainment and social interaction.

Our chapter is organized for educational and scientific purposes to promote the following: increased knowledge of and greater interest in the development and ethical application of human-centered principles to drive the science and implementation of modern computing technologies. The point is to be "user centered" in all design and development, and to promote scientific advancement to inform design principles.

Our membership comes from both academia and industry. Some members have years of experience in the field of Human Computer Interaction, while others are interested in learning how to apply these principles to their own fields.

Our monthly meetings, with speakers on specific topics, also provide an opportunity for the community to learn from each other in a casual environment.
