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.

Please refer to the german webpage from last semester for an overview regarding the schedule.

Application

Central registration process via the UniWorX course. (As of Feb, 13th 2019, 12pm; Until Mar, 25th 2019 8am)
