Human-Computer Interaction Human the end-user of a program the others in the organization Computer the machine the program runs on often split between clients & servers Interaction the user tells the computer what they want the computer communicates results

Design What is HCI? Organizational & Social Issues TechnologyHumans Task

User Interfaces (UIs) Part of application that allows people to interact with computer to carry out their task

Why Study User Interfaces? Major part of work for “real” programs approximately 50% “Real” software is intended for people other than yourself Bad user interfaces cost money (5% satisfaction -> up to 85% profits) Lives User interfaces are hard to get right

HCI HCI = Design Prototyping Evaluation implementation (of UIs)

Graphical user interfaces

Web applications

About the course Since HCI is a quite comprehensive domain, in this course, we will focus on : Advanced user interfaces (with vision, audio, graphics, VR techniques). Advanced interface design and implementation for your system.

Syllabus Fundamental concepts Usability Conceptual model User-centered design and prototyping Evaluation Design Prototype Evaluate
