The 2019 ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing was themed around "weaving the threads of CHI ... people from different disciplines, cultures, sectors, communities, backgrounds ... weaving together into one community, with the common purpose of technology that works for people and society." The conference took place on May 4-9 in Glasgow, UK This year's CHI was the biggest to date, with over 3800 participants from 68 countries. It included workshops, papers, demos, and presentations that touched on new technologies and societal themes, which will impact current and emerging trends in pervasive and ubiquitous computing. We highlight several of these trends in this paper, including Internet of Things (IoT) in smarthomes, privacy and security, AR/VR, health, and new interaction modalities. We also focus on several cross-cutting areas, including an increasing focus on understanding and supporting varied populations and platforms.
