products. Important part of the course are issues dealing with user

interfaces for special classes of user interfaces (handicapped users,

user interfaces for mobile devices etc.). In the framework of seminars

and labs the students will go through the whole design cycle beginning

with the design of a particular user interface and ending up with its
