Content

Digitalization has a massive impact on the way we live our lives and how we work. Many aspects of our society, such as communication, mobility, or money are transformed through ubiquitous computing technologies. The interaction with our environment becomes increasingly ubiquitous. Human-computer-interaction, interaction and communication with other people are more and more mediated through digital technologies. Interaction technologies and how we design interaction are becoming the defining factors in our experience in the world. We need to better understand how to put the humans and their needs in the center of our advances.

Topics

In the seminar we look at current topics in human computer interaction in the context of ubiquitous media and computing, such as:

  • Interaction in virtual, augmented and mixed reality
  • Interacting with smart environments, Internet of Things (IoT)
  • Usable security and privacy
  • Physiological interaction
  • Tangible UIs
  • Wearable UIs

Tasks and schedule

We have prepared scientific articles - predominantly in english - for reading. The tentative agenda of the seminar is as follows:

Until the first meeting

  • Read the introductory articles. See [1], [2].
  • Submit a short summary (approx. 200 words) about the two articles ([1], [2]).

First meeting (Session):

  • First session: organizational matters, presentation and assignment of topics
  • Assignment of seminar teams (Publicity, Proceedings, Poster)

+ 2 weeks (Session):

  • Presentation of individual topics in short presentation (60 seconds) by the students

+ 1 week (Session + Submission):

  • Title and table of contents for the presentation
  • Flyer (postcard) and 120 charater tweet for the individual topics

+ approx. 3 weeks (Submission):

  • Submission of a first version: structure, related work, content (at least bullet points) for every chapter

+ approx. 3 weeks (Session + Submission):

  • Submission of final student papers for the review process
  • Explanation of the review process

+ 2 weeks (Submission):

  • Rehearsal talk including video recording in small groups (2-3 students)
  • Submission of recordings
  • Submission of reviews (forward to fellow students)

UBIACTION (End of June):

  • UBIACTION event day from 1pm to 6pm: public presentation of individual topics

Jul 5th, 2018 (Session):

  • Closing event, feedback

Jul 12th, 2018 (Submission):

  • Submission of final version of the student papers

Furthermore, special tasks are assigned on the basis of seminar team affiliations:

  • Publicity: create webpage with schedule (UBIACTION), advertisement for the event via Facebook, Twitter.
  • Proceedings: create seminar proceedings (collect student papers, create cover sheet and table of contents), figure out e-book formalities
  • Poster: create information posters for UBIACTION (schedule, topics), organization of posters

Application

Central registration process via the UniWorX course. (As of Feb, 15th 2018, 12pm)
