HCI Project Overview

Roadmap Introduction Teams Topics Final discussion Prerequisites Software Support HCI Project Overview

Introduction The curriculum is structured to cover the end-to-end process of a research and development product cycle modifications or new applications to their existing human-to-machine technology. The main goal of the project is not focused on particular algorithmic techniques or computer technologies but on developing a broad set of skills needed for user-centered design. HCI Project Overview

Teams Teams starts to be defined today and should be clearly identified by end of March Teams composition 2/3 computer scientists 2/3 students from industrial design Every team should have team leader, who is in charge of coordinating the others and possibly be present at each office hours (independently of the specific professors) HCI Project Overview

Suggested skills (for computer scientists) WWW application development PHP Java servlets/JSPs … Java programming (or other languages, to be discussed with the instructors) Engineering and design UML Database design and realization HCI Project Overview

Topics During the course, some general themes will be introduced Starting from the theme, a team should develop a project idea and realize it Industrial design students will be mainly in charge of the phase theme  concrete project idea (with mock-ups of the interfaces/interactions) Computer scientists will be mainly in charge of the phase concrete project idea  running system to be demonstrated during the exam HCI Project Overview

Final discussion (1) The final project must be presented in one of the scheduled project discussion date There will be one discussion date for each exam session Students are expected to check the project discussion date on the course website It is mandatory to notify the tutor (i.e., Valeria Mirabella) by email about the date in which you intend to discuss the project HCI Project Overview

Final discussion (2) The project discussion consists of a brief presentation of the work done (ppt file) the final written report (doc/pdf file) the running prototype Project documentation and a virtual machine with all the running prototype and demonstration should be delivered on a cd/dvd + pen drive (for copying, it will be given back to you ) Each team should plan to talk for approximately 30 minutes, and each student should present at least a few slides (each one should “speak”) HCI Project Overview
