  1. COMP3050 Human Computer Interface - By Dr. Amy Zhang

  2. A public service announcement • Please take front seats, so that • I can see you • Students that sit up front learn more • Note-taking can be valuable

  3. Introduction • What is Human Computer Interface? • Examples • Why HCI • HCI design process • Administrative Matters

  4. What is Human Computer Interface?

  5. Technology trends Processing Unaided human abilities • Moore’s law • Human-computer interaction was born out of these two lines crossing. • When computing time is expensive, people supplicate themselves to the machine. • When computing is cheap, we put machine work for us.

  6. Example: Mobile interaction design

  7. Culture context: to find the Holy Land for the Islam in Malaysia.

  8. Mobile interaction design • Many Design Choices • Think different from GUI/Web • Specific vs. general usage • Pen/speech modalities • Integrate with other tasks • Social apps • Always in your pocket

  9. The process for design (simplified) Observe Storyboard Prototype: paper, video, etc. User testing: questionnaires etc. Design reviews (Iteration)

  10. Observe • To get design ideas, you can start out by doing fieldwork, for example, in • Exercising • Getting healthy food at the grocery store • Singing practice • The science lab • Tour guides, etc

  11. Observe

  12. Storyboard / Paper Prototype

  13. Video prototype Starfire: 1992 http://www.asktog.com/starfire/index.html

  14. User testing Questionnaires Reviews

  15. Course Values • Designs are for people. • Quality is about fit to a task • not arbitrary, but it is contextual. • People’s ability to use a design is the ultimate test of its quality • The best way to create good designs is: • Observe people and find an actual problem worth solving • Rapidly and iteratively create many prototypes • Create multiple prototypes in parallel to explore alternatives • Seek feedback from peers and users

  16. LECTURES • Methods • Discovery, human-centered design, mobile, prototyping, design reviews • Principles • Direct manipulation, representations, input Graphic Design, Information Design • Evaluation • Tools and the future

  17. Introduction • What is Human Computer Interface? • Examples • Why HCI • HCI design process • Administrative Matters

  18. Administrative Matters • Lecturer: Dr. Amy Zhang • amyzhang@uic.edu.hk • E408-R6 • Office hour: Tue 11:00am-12:00pm • TA: Mr. Mark Weidong Chen • markchenwd@gmail.com • E408 • Course website: • www.uic.edu.hk/~amyzhang/COMP3050 • Lectures: • Monday 10:00-11:50 am E302 • Tuesday 16:00-16:50 pm C304 • No textbook, but a reference book: • http://www.hcibook.com/e3/

  19. Grading 19 • The final grade depends on: • Continuous assessment: 50% • Random quiz and tests: 20% • Assignment average: 30% • Final exam: 50% • You have to pass both the continuous assessment and the final exam.

  20. Assignment 10/9/2014 20 • Individual assignments • Programming or written • 1 student independently • Submit via email or written paper • The deadline is non-negotiable • Projects • 3-4 students • Studio & self-assement

  21. Academic Honesty 10/9/2014 21 • You must identify works that are not your own • Mention original author(s) • Do not collaborate with other students • Except by permission for the project
