This course comprises the introduction to User-Centered Design of interactive systems as well as the presentation of different concepts, such as task analysis, prototype construction and evaluation methodologies. Based on Fitts’ Law, that shows the relation of human hand-eye coordination, the development of new interaction techniques like computer mice is shown. Multiple software architectures, paradigms and tools for interactive systems will be compared. The Model-View-Controller Pattern is exemplarily presented with XForms. Different formal description approaches for interactive systems are shown. To illustrate the subject of Human-Computer Interaction, use cases such as pedestrian navigation by means of localization techniques or adaptive dialogue systems.

Place and Time

This course is only available during winter term.

WT 2021/2022

Information on the Winter Term 2021/2022. This winter term 2021/2022, this lecture will be available in hybrid mode such that remote-only participation will likely be possible. To keep yourself up to date, please enrol to the OPAL course as soon as it is available. Further information according to the lecture schedule will be sent to you via e-mail using the announcements feature of the course.

Lectures. Our plan is to run lectures in hybrid mode as a combination of on-site lectures and live stream. Furthermore, we will provide recordings of the WT 2020/2021 lectures for on-demand access.

Exercises. The first two exercise appointments will take place online only. Afterwards, we plan to switch to regular on-site excercises. The materials will be provided containing detailed instructions to work on the tasks remotely. Additionally, we will setup a community chat to enable and motivate vital discussion.
