Semester 1

Autumn semester

The course introduces Human–ComputerInteraction (HCI) involving the study, planning, and design of the interaction between people (users) and computers.

Its aim is to understand the theoretical basics of Perception, Multimedia design, Information Visualization, Interaction Design, the Virtual Continum, Serious Games, Tangible, Collaborative, Location-based, and Gesture-based technologies, etc.) and recent innovations in these areas.

Activities involve the exploration of emerging interactive technologies designed for demonstration, education, entertainment, navigation, narrative, support …etc. purposes and their variety of creative applications in different disciplines and user interest groups.

Students from different disciplines form groups to design and implement a specified innovative project that could well serve the basis of an industrial entrepreneurship.
