Synopsis:

The goal of the course is to introduce advanced methods for user interface and interaction design in non-standard

environments, such as virtual and augmented reality. Students will gain theoretical background related to human interaction

in such environments. During the course students will get familiar with a set of techniques for design and testing of

interactive systems in non-standard environments, especially in virtual and augmented reality with collaborative aspects.

Requirements:

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Introduction into the problem area of user interface design in non-standard environments (virtual and augmented

reality).

2. Psychological aspects of user interface design in non-standard environments: visual perception, physical interaction.

3. Psychological aspects of user interface design in non-standard environments: working memory, spatial orientation.

4. Principals of technologies used for interaction in non-standard environments,

5. Gesture interaction: ergonomics, speed and fatigue.

6. Gesture interaction: recognition and processing.

7. Multimodal interaction in non-standard environments.

8. Collaborative interaction in non-standard environments.

9. Human-robot interaction in augmented reality.

10. Low fidelity prototyping in non-standard environments.

11. High fidelity prototyping in non-standard environments.

12. User testing methods of collaborative systems in augmented reality without users.

13. User testing methods of collaborative systems in augmented reality with users.

14. Beyond current state-of-art of design and testing of user interface and interaction.
