Every Winter Term
Hands-On HCI
The goal of this class is to walk you through the whole research cycle in Human-Computer Interaction. The class connects theory and practice, including lectures on research methods and data analysis, alongside practical assignments. Working in small groups, you will gain hands-on experience in experimental design and have the opportunity to publish your first scientific paper based on your practical assignments.
Every Summer Term
Sketching with Hardware
Hardware prototypes are an essential tool in communicating and evaluating novel ideas in Human-Computer Interaction. In this course, students work in small groups to plan, design, and build interactive hardware prototypes. You will use a variety of methods and tools, including microcontroller programming, to develop innovative devices featuring novel input and output modalities.
Human-Computer Interaction Seminar
This seminar introduces students to academic research, scientific methods, and writing in the field of HCI. Students will conduct a systematic literature review (following PRISMA guidelines) on an emerging research topic such as Virtual Reality, Human-Centered AI, or Usable Privacy. The course involves writing a 5-page survey paper, peer reviewing, and presenting the work in a conference-style format.
