Abstract

Information design and technology are interrelated topics that have proven to be relevant and urgent areas of research as they are essential to our daily lives. Moreover, advances and trends in technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital learning, digital games, virtual realities and others have changed social and economic structures, posing new ethical and information challenges to researchers and information designers. The aim of this special issue was to bring together contributions that focus primarily on the relationship between information design and technology and also report on emerging issues within this topic. The papers selected for this issue provide research findings that contribute to reflection and opportunities for improvement in these challenging and thought-provoking research areas.
