General

In this seminar students will learn, study experiment with an advanced topic of Human-Computer Interaction. The topics include:

-Large screen interactions include multitouch, mid air gestures , vibrohaptics 

-implicit interaction through eye gaze in information exploration

-Urban Augmented reality including mobile access to localised information and scenes using tablets and considering audio

Completing the course

To complete the course students write a literature review and work on practical application of the concepts. The practical work can include a user study, a software implementation or analysis of data.
