User Interfaces have become pervasive in many scenarios: from learning to
entertainment, from mobile and personal interaction to the smart
environments shared among different people. This wide spectrum of
applications requires different interaction techniques and design solutions,
involving various types of devices and approaches: common desktop or
mobile interfaces, augmented and virtual reality, gestures, tangibles,
physical objects etc. The user’s experience depends not only on the usability
of a single application or device, but also on the integration of ecosystems
composed of people, interfaces, systems and devices dynamically connected
in the environment.

The twelfth Edition of CHItaly addresses such themes, bringing together
various innovative research contributions that will stimulate the growth of
the Human-Computer Interaction field. CHItaly is the biannual conference
organised by the Italian Chapter of the ACM SIGCHI. The theme of this
edition was “Towards the Mediterranean”, because we wanted to encourage
participation from countries in this geographical area. It took place in a
wonderful Mediterranean island, Sardinia.
These adjunct proceedings includes the papers presented at the Doctoral
Consortium and in the Posters & Demos session. All papers include work in
progress research in the themes that characterize the conference, which will
constitute the basis for further advances in the field.

We thank all members of the Program Committee that helped with the
reviews, the companies that supported the event (Abinsula, Inpeco, Money
Farm, ShopFully), and all participants that made the event successful.
