Acquisition of scientific knowledge and skills in the areas of design, development and evaluation of innovative interaction interfaces in the course of a practical project in the field of Human Computer Interaction. The project focusses on design, prototyping, implementation and evaluation of innovative interactive systems, e.g. in the areas of mobile computing, multitouch interaction, tangible computing and ubiquitous computing. Projects will be conducted in a User Centered Design process, where students can choose to focus on specific phases or methods (contextual analysis, design, implementation or evaluation). Depending on the size of the project it is possible to conduct the project in small groups.

The project is in the field of Human Computer Interaction and can be started continuously. The topic of the project must fit into an applied area of Human Computer Interaction (e.g. User Interface Design, Interaction Design, User Experience Design, Accessibility, Usability Engineering, Usability Evaluation).
