Design and Implementation of Users Interfaces

The course cannot be taken simultaneously with:

User Interface Design (A4M39NUR)

The course is a substitute for:

Design and Implementation of User Interfaces (36NUR)

Lecturer:

Pavel Slavík (gar.)

Tutor:

Pavel Slavík (gar.), Radek Bien, Zdeněk Míkovec, Ondřej Poláček, Adam Sporka

Supervisor:

Department of Computer Graphics and Interaction

Synopsis:

Students will be acquainted with methods for efficient design and evaluation of user interfaces. Fundamental evaluation methods are discussed. Attention is paid also to non-technical aspects of man-machine communication (ergonomic and psychological aspects). An integral part of the course are problems of user interfaces in emerging applications like mobile computing.
