Each semester, we are offering a variety of practical tasks that can be accomplished during a complex practical course. You may credit these courses in different modules of the offered computer science programmes.

General Course Goals

Both complex pratical courses Human-Computer Interaction as well as Multimodal Interaction should allow you to improve your skills and deepen your knowledge about multimodal interaction techniques, user-centered design methods and software technologies. You will get the opportunity to get insights in current research projects to learn more about and engage in state-of-the-art research fields.

Your required skills:

Basic knowledge about object-oriented programming (OOP), development environments, version control and software technology
Interest in the field of Human-Computer Interaction
Capacity for teamwork

You can learn:

You will improve your programming skills and experience in designing user interfaces. You will get insights in a broad variety of research fields within the area of Human-Computer Interaction with focus on users with special needs due to impairments such as blind and partially-sighted people. You will learn how to work with prototypical innovative applications and devices.
