Course Description:
Introduces HCI topics specifically highlighted by new input modalities such as eye-tracking. Considers new input modalities as new channels for data gathering including multimedia compression, interface design, usability evaluation, biometrics. Application of HCI as interdisciplinary research tool also will be discussed.Prerequisite:
- C or higher in CS 3358: Data Structures
Course Objectives:
1. |
Able to understand and solve challenges that have to be addressed when novel input technologies are employed. |
2. |
Specifically learn how computer interface has to be changed when new input technologies are introduced. |
3. |
Acquire basic knowledge about the Human Visual System and brain functioning & apply this knowledge to interface design. |
4. |
Able to set up an experiment related to HCI domain. Students will be able to record & analyze the data as a result of this experiment. |
5. |
Learn the applicability of the recorded eye tracking data to the fields of engineering, geography, physical therapy, & psychology. As a result, students will acquire skill that will allow them to be more successful in interdisciplinary research. Eye tracking: methods & technology. |
Course Notes:
None.
