Human-computer Interaction

Perceiving capabilities within the human-computer interaction. Studying the basic principles in creating an interface between a human and a computer. Getting acquainted with different support technologies in the human-computer interaction.

Students are expected to master various techniques for creating interface between a human and a computer. Students should be able to provide different types of communication between a human and a computer, depending on the environment in which the application is used.

Theoretical training

• The basic principles of the design of human-computer interaction
• The evaluation of software support features
• The role of graphical user interface (GUI) in human-computer interaction
• The consideration of the interface design from the point of view of: users, developers and designers
• The benefits of the programming language
• Cognitive, social and emotional aspects in interface design between a human and a computer
• Building a prototype of user interface
• Building in the sound effects, programmed manuals and context-dependent help
• Programme (operational system) documentation
• 3D user interfaces
Practical training
Work on tasks related to theoretical training.
