Exploring Human-Computer Interaction: Course Overview and Research Topics

This course delves into the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), covering topics such as task design, organizational and social issues, technology, and the importance of studying HCI. The syllabus includes discussions on research methods, remote collaboration, tangible interaction, and integrating physical and digital interactions. Students will explore concepts like distributed cognition, information visualization, intelligent UIs, and gestural/bimanual input. The course structure involves lectures, student-led discussions, paper critiques, participation in projects, and a final presentation. Projects will focus on research-quality endeavors, with opportunities for evaluations and iterations. Students are encouraged to work in pairs on projects related to their research interests. The course also emphasizes the importance of prototyping and design thinking in technology development.

  25. Lecture Format 11:00-11:35 I’ll present the area 11:35-12:15 Student-led discussion HCI literature • Conferences papers (chi, uist, cscw, …) • journal articles (tochi, hci, …) • ~4 papers/week

  26. Grading class 25% Paper Critiques 25% Participation & leading in-class discussion projects 20% Concept & Implementation 10% Study 20% Final Presentation & Report

  27. Reading: Come prepared • Email cs376@cs with 2 criticisms & 2 good points (w/ reasoning, evidence), and 1-5 rating by 7:00am the day of class. • Send them inline (not as an attachment) using the format linked off the cs376 page • I strongly suggest hiding in the library, distraction-free • Reading should take two hours per class • Summaries should take one hour per class

  29. Expected background • In general, there are no pre-reqs. That said, the course does assume… • Sufficient background to complete a mini-research project (of your own choosing) • The recognition-based interface readings presume basic linear algebra • The toolkit readings presume basic programming knowledge • You can get through without that background, but those readings will likely take longer

  30. Projects • (Small) research-quality projects • Meet with David and me about proposals • 1 page proposals due Monday, October 9th • Mid-term demo/review • Must include an evaluation & iteration • Final report • 10-15 minute presentation in class (Dec. 12th) • 3-4 page paper in chi format (Dec. 14th)

  31. Projects • Working in pairs is (strongly) encouraged • A project related to your research (or another course project) is great • Let me know if you do this • David and I are happy to offer project suggestions
