 August 29-30, 2003 at the The University of Electro-Communication , Japan 


The Six International Conference on Humans and Computers is a forum which
addresses all aspects of research related to human and computer. 

HISTORY

The First International Conference on Human and Computer 1998 was held and
organized at the University of Aizu, Japan, including the annual meeting of
the 3D Forum Society took place at the University of Aizu, Japan. 
The Second International Conference on Human and Computer 1999 was was held
and organized at the University of Aizu, Japan and the Meiji University,
Tokyo, Japan, including the annual meeting of the 3D Forum Society. 
The Third International Conference on Human and Computer 2000 was held and
organized at the University of Aizu and the Waseda University, Tokyo,
including the annual meeting of the 3D Forum Society. From this year, a new
style of Internet conference with Gigabit-Network was established between
Aizu and Tokyo. 
The Forth International Conference on Human and Computer 2001 was held and
organized at the University of Aizu and The University of
Electro-Communications, Tokyo, including the annual meeting of the 3D Forum
Society on Gigabit-Network Conference. 
The Fifth International Conference on Human and Computer 2002 was held and
organized at the University of Aizu and The University of
Electro-Communications, Tokyo, including the annual meeting of the 3D Forum
Society on Gigabit-Network Conference. 

Now the Sixth International Conference on Human and Computer 2003 will be
held at the University of Aizu and The University of Electro-Communications,
Tokyo featuring for the four time a Gigabit-Network connection for enabling
participants in Aizu-Wakamatsu to join the conference in Tokyo
and Duesseldorf University of Applied Sciences, Germany.
