Course Objectives
The primary objectives of this course are to expose students to the methods and principles of human factors, human-computer interaction (HCI), user-centered design (UCD), and usability evaluation. Upon completion of this course the students will:
- gain an understanding of human-computer interaction theory and research,
- recognize the impact of system design on users’ attitudes and behaviors,
- become familiar with user-centered design and evaluation processes,
- and be able to employ user-centered design processes in designing and building interactive systems.
Course Content
Overview of next-generation user interfaces and underlying methodologies. A review of HCI concepts and history. Input devices and interaction techniques. User interface design paradigms. 3D user interfaces and adaptive interfaces. User modeling. Speech recognition and conversational interfaces. Wearable computers. Multimodal and perceptual interfaces.
Course Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course, students will:
- be able to evaluate user interfaces with respect to different usability criteria
- learn and be able to apply several prototyping methods
- understand the challenges in building multimodal interfaces
- be aware of next generation interfaces such as speech, vision based interfaces, and augmented reality
