Alan Dix - Human-Computer Interaction: post-millennial models
basics of HCI and cognition
Tues May 20th am and pm
I will assume no previous knowledge and so start the course with a very brief lightening overview of HCI as a design discipline and as a research field. However, if you have some previous knowledge of HCI I hope this will still be of interest. In this part I will also cover some issues in visual perception and about temporal issues of the human and interaction. This is largely done as an example of the way deeper psychological knowledge can inform our understanding.
