  3. IDCInterdisciplinary CentreResearchTeaching Consultinghelping create a new area of Human-Centred Computing ·

  4. People-centred ICT design & use Human, social, organizational, & technical factors Information “ecologies” , not simply systems Designing ICT artefacts & infrastructures Quality….. in Use (user expectations,experiences) Technology as mediator in human activities ..emphasis on human activities, history, (Marx, Vygotsky) The work required to make things work - infrastructures, facilitation, org. culture... New media design - user experience, play UL Interaction Design Centre - Integrating technical & human/social perspectives

  5. Interaction Design CentreInterdisciplinary Research Group (22+) computer science, telecommunications, software engineering, industrial design, graphic design, fine arts, ceramics, architecture, media studies, education, psychology, sociology, …

  6. Interaction Design CentreInterdisciplinary Research Group (22+) • Conceptual Issues • activity theory, ethnomethodology, phenomenology…. • Design Methods • video analysis, paper prototyping, participative methods, video prototyping … • Technical Probes • Vibro-tactile surfaces, sound models, gestural interfaces…

  7. Interaction Design CentreInterdisciplinary Research Group (22+) ·Multimodality ·Interaction ·Sociality ·Augmentation ·Human Activity ·Materiality of Objects ·Engagement

  8. Materiality of Objects – the central role of material artefacts Human Activity – a fundamental aspect of human being in the world Engagement – the need to excite, motivate, enhance the user experience Interaction – human play with objects being seen as a narrative activity, not simple action-reaction (mouse event – action) pairs Multimodality – incorporating several sensory modalities – visual, tactile, kinaesthetic, sonic, auditory Sociality – creating artefacts or assemblies of artefacts that allow for or encourage collaborative activity Computer as an augmentation tool – not a substitute for existing practices IDC Research Themes

  16. Understanding the everyday world of human activity Understanding human practices Computing - as a human activity Artefacts as mediators in human activity Ubiquitous computing, sensors, infrastructures Novel interaction paradigms (e.g. haptic interfaces, multimodality, performance) We need to explore the design space where we do not MODEL the user! Technology as a means to an end, not an end in itself… Towards a Human-Centred Computing?
