Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
After taking the course the student understands interaction techniques that deviate from the usual interfaces between human and computer, and has practical experience of building applications with such interaction.

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD
Content
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
The course gives an overview of new and emerging UI paradigms that go beyond traditional WIMP interfaces. These include tangible interaction, multimodal interaction (audio, haptic, smell and taste) and the various sensors and sensing techniques and technologies used to implement them. A significant proportion of the course is spent on hands-on project work, where students will collaborate to implement a novel user interface (most likely tangible) using electronic prototyping tools and software (most likely Arduino).
Applies in this implementation:
Student groups will select an interactive use case, design and implement for it a non-conventional UI as a prototype, demonstrate its functionality, test its usability, and write a report in scientific style.
Assessment Methods and Criteria
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
Assessment is made on the report and demonstration of the group implementation project.
Applies in this implementation:
Evaluation is based on innovativeness of the UI concept, quality of the implementation, and clarity of the report.
Workload
Applies in this implementation:
10+100+30 h (lectures + prototyping + testing and reporting)
