Introduction
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) concerns itself with the design, implementation, andevaluation of computer systems that people interact with. HCI has an enormous impact on the
technology industry, with companies of all sizes growing their commercial success through the
successful use of HCI methods to create universally usable, useful, efficient, and appealingproducts. This unit explores advanced topics in HCI with particular focus on interaction design in
mobile and ubiquitous computing environments. The unit will introduce students to the different
types of user experimentation methods commonly used within HCI, including both quantitativeand qualitative methods, and students will additionally learn the theory behind HCI and its
application to a number of newly emerging technologies. This unit is highly practical in nature and
students will be expected to participate in group activities and student-led presentations anddiscussion on seminal research papers in HCI.
