CPSC 581:
Human-Computer Interaction II
INTERACTIONS LAB, UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY, 2012
This second undergraduate course in Human Computer Interaction concentrates on having students acquire skills in creative aspects of Interaction Design. It is an unusual course for computer science as it somewhat follows the structure of a design studio: students mostly learn by doing vs. listening to lectures. Course co-taught with Saul Greenberg.
Conference Tutorials
ITS 2013 Tutorial:
Sketching User Experiences: Stories, Strategies, Surfaces
ACM INTERACTIVE TABLETOPS AND SURFACES CONFERENCE 2013
This hands-on tutorial demonstrates how to integrate sketching into researchers’ and interaction designers’ everyday practice – with a particular focus on the design of applications for interactive surfaces (e.g., phones, tablets, tabletops, interactive whiteboards).
ITS 2013 Tutorial:
Proxemic Interactions with and around Digital Surfaces
ACM INTERACTIVE TABLETOPS AND SURFACES CONFERENCE 2013
This tutorial introduces strategies how the knowledge of people’s and devices’ proxemic relationships can be applied to interaction design. The goal is to inform the design of future proxemic-aware devices that – similar to people’s natural expectations and use of proxemics – allow increasing connectivity and interaction possibilities when in proximity to people, other devices, or objects.
