THIS COURSE WAS CANCELLED FOR WINTER SEMESTER 2018/19!

By the end of this course students will be able to:
- identify new application areas for mobile, wireless and sensor based technologies.
- understand how to interpret and adapt HCI methodologies for the design of these applications.
- make use of mobile, wireless, ambient and sensor-based technologies to build exemplar applications.

- Limited to 20 students.

- Kick-off: MON 09 Oct 2017 14:15 -15:00 Seminarraum Argentinierstraße

THIS COURSE WAS CANCELLED FOR WINTER SEMESTER 2018/19!

As mobile, wireless and sensor based technologies mature, whole new forms of interaction between people and computers become possible, especially when compared to traditional notions of HCI based on screen-based interactions. Further, these technologies open up the design space for HCI beyond traditional work-based and productivity concerns, e.g., to health, well being and reflections on daily life. This course will explore these issues via understanding the current state of the art and doing hands-on group project work with a range of mobile, wireless and sensor-based technologies. The know how and use of the technologies will be taught in an intensive hands on way in this course and in the module 'Beyond the Desktop' as a whole.

Students who want to attend both in VU Beyond the Desktop and PR Buidling Interaction Interfaces will be 'served first'. That is, the course contingent is reserved for students who want to attend the whole module. Vacant capacaties can be used for students who want to attend only one course of the module.
