Class description
The ability for humans to enter information is a cornerstone of human-computer interaction. This course examines a number of ways people can communicate with computer and information systems through input and interaction techniques, including the invention of recent techniques for emerging computing paradigms. Topics include text entry, mouse pointing, speech input, accessibility devices, mobile input, eye tracking, large displays, and theoretical models of input and interaction (e.g. Fitts' law, Steering law). Evaluation of techniques will also be covered. The course culminates in a project in which students design and prototype an input or interaction technique.
