| Sumario: | It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the first Workshop on Multimedia for Accessible Human Computer Interface, MAHCI 2018, which is held in Seoul, Korea on October 22, 2018, in conjunction with ACM Multimedia 2018. In recent year, advances in multimedia technologies have prompted a wave of developing new intelligent HCI devices. For example, many HCI devices equipped with virtual reality, speech recognition and augmented reality are developed, which significantly enhanced users' ability to interact with the world. More recently, with the development of deep neural networks, many multimedia problems, such as video captioning, object detection and image syntheses, have obtained great breakthroughs. These latest advance has provided enormous opportunities in developing intelligent HCI applications that is accessible to all individuals. MAHCI aims at capturing the recent advances in multimedia technology (audio, video, image, and text) for human computer interface design, development, and evaluations that is accessible to all individuals, and providing a forum to both multimedia and HCI researchers to discuss the possibility for accessible human computer interface design, development, and evaluations with the state-of-the-art multimedia technology. It also enables multimedia community to expand its interaction with the HCI industry and broaden the scope of deploying multimedia technology in practical applications. In MAHCI 2018, we received 7 submissions from Asia, United State and Europe. Papers are reviewed in a double-blind manner. The reviewers are selected from a broad range of expertise with half from the multimedia community and the other half from the HCI community. Final 5 papers are accepted while the decision is made by the workshop organizing committee based on the reviews.
