Advanced Human Computer Interaction

Course aim

The course will provide students with a theoretical framework for, and practical familiarity with, the current technologies and research directions in the field of computer user interface technologies. This course will cover the underlying software infrastructure to support modern user interface technologies and elucidate the distinctions among different approaches to user interface and their evaluation. This course will assume knowledge of traditional user interface technologies and provide a deeper understanding of state-of-the-art and future research directions for user interfaces.

Course content

The course combines the investigation of theory and practical aspects of advanced user interfaces. The course includes:

• Software infrastructures for the user interfaces
• 3D user interfaces
• Mobile user interfaces
• Virtual and augmented reality user interfaces
• User modelling and its applications to adaptive user interfaces
• Major user interface paradigms, including anthropomorphic interfaces
• User interface evaluation
• Novel user interfaces
