Program Overview

Program Overview

The "Fortgeschrittene Themen zu HCI" (Advanced Topics in Human-Computer Interaction) course is a comprehensive program designed to provide students with a deep understanding of the fundamentals and current trends in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). The program is divided into two main components: lectures and group projects.

Lectures

The lectures are conducted by staff members of the Medieninformatik department and cover a wide range of topics, including:

• Interaktive Oberflõchen (Interactive Surfaces)
• Benutzbare Sicherheit (Usable Security)
• E-Learning
• Brain-Computer Interfaces
• Eye Tracking
• Group Mirrors
• Interaktion mit mobilen Endgerõten (Interaction with Mobile Devices)

Group Projects

The group projects are an essential part of the program, where students work in pairs to complete a scientific project under the supervision of the department's staff. The projects consist of a concept phase, an implementation and/or evaluation phase, and the results are documented in a scientific paper (4 pages in ACM SIGCHI format, plus references). The projects are presented during a seminar day at the end of the semester, with each presentation lasting 15 minutes, followed by a 5-minute discussion.
