| Objectives | To provide a comprehensible vision of the user interface design aspects and the user-computer interaction types. The students will be able to design ergonomic and attractive interfaces for specific types of users, applications, platforms, and devices, including Web and mobile ones. |
| General thematics | Definitions and terminology. Aspects regarding the human-computer interaction. User interface design: principles, models, and types. Design methodologies. Case studies: game development. Human factor. Usability. Program presentation – at the desktop level. User interaction. Input devices. Graphical controls. Output devices. Components. Affectivity, errors and risks. User education and guidance. Interface identity and evaluation. User testing. Methodologies. High-level specification of interfaces. Web interaction. Web interface design. Methodologies. Case studies. Non-conventional interactions. From mobile interaction to ubiquitous computing. Augmented and virtual reality. |
| Seminary / Laboratory thematics | Human-computer interaction patterns. Issues on interaction and user-interface design. Specific user-interface prototyping. Techniques of user interface evaluation. User testing. |
