MM 801 - HCI and Applications

★ 3 (fi 6) (variable, variable) Multimedia data, e.g. image, video, static and dynamic 3D models, sound and signal, are often delivered to the users via display, haptic or other sensor-based devices. Understanding how human and computer interact can enhance application performance. The understanding of perceptual responses can be achieved by monitoring facial expression, tracking body gesture, hearing their voices and so on. Human perceptual response can be affected by prior knowledge, environment, content communicated from the computer, etc. This course discusses some of these aspects, e.g., computer vision and image processing based techniques to support human-centric individual and collaborative interactive applications, including multi-touch for real-time interaction. Human perceptual factors and user study methodologies will also be covered.
