Advanced Techniques of Man-Machine Interface (MMI)

Create Intuitive Digital Experiences: Explore innovative interaction techniques such as voice, gesture, and multi-touch interfaces, develop your own prototypes, and design user experiences that naturally connect people and technology.

Contents

• Classifications and properties of different forms of interaction styles such as:
• gestural interfaces
• multitouch interfaces
• tangible Interfaces
• conversational interfaces
• Design paradigms for the innovative styles of interaction as listed above
• Development of one innovative interactive system
• prototyping of the system
• technologies and architectures of selected frameworks and tools needed to implement the system.
• implementation of one dedicated part of the user interface project
