Course Overview

This course studie human-computer interaction (HCI) with a focus on increasing the efficiency of the communication between users and computing services. Technology appears to be unlimited regarding which form of user interfaces can be implemented. However, users have strong limitations regarding what they can perceive and what they can do in a given amount of time. Human Centered Interaction approaches the HCI problem as the *optimization of the human input/output bandwidth* through better HCIs. Content Lectures Human sensorimotor capabilities and limits: perception, control. Modeling the interaction between users and computers. Optimizing the interaction with touch, gestural, mobile and 3D interaction. Benefits and limits of tangible interaction Future of tangible interaction Implementation of tangible interaction with Arduino Benefits of multimodal interaction Design elements of multimodal interaction Project Students work in groups of 2 during the whole semester on an HCI study. They chose an HCI problem of their choice (moderated by the professors), analyze the problem, propose a new interaction, prototype and evaluate it, and they present their work to the class at the end of the semester. Evaluation Session 1: Project (75%), written exam 2h (25%) Session 2: The project grade is kept (75%), oral exam 0.5h (25%).
