Seminar

This seminar (Hauptseminar) is on human centered interaction with ubiquitous computing systems.

We focus on physiological sensing methods and the resulting novel interaction techniques.

Context

Digitalization has a massive impact on the way we live our lives and how we work. Many aspects of our society, such as communication, mobility, or money are transformed through ubiquitous computing technologies.

The interaction with our environment becomes increasingly ubiquitous.  Human-computer-interaction, interaction and communication with other people are more and more mediated through digital technologies.

Interaction technologies and how we design interaction are becoming the defining factors in our experience in the world. We need to better understand how to put the humans and their needs in the center of our advances.
