Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)

Image result for Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)The Human-Computer Interaction Group studies interaction in future computing environments including the office, home, mobile and medical. Emphasis on context-aware systems, perceptual interfaces (like computer vision and speech), visualization and learning technologies.
