Course Aim:

After having achieved a general overview of the area of Human-Computer Interaction, this seminar will provide students with an idea of the current research topics that are being tackled in the research community. After the seminar, students will have some in-depth knowledge about one current area of HCI, and will have heard talks about numerous others. The seminar also provides students with an opportunity to refine their scientific writing and presentation skills, and since the topics are assigned to groups of two students each, it is also another chance to learn how to work efficiently as a team.

Content:

The seminar discusses current trends in Media Computing and Human-Computer Interaction, with a focus on user interfaces that go beyond the desktop metaphor. Topics include:
  • speech interfaces
  • pen-based interaction
  • music interfaces
