Course Highlights

This course features extensive lecture notes as well as a set of weekly reading responses in the assignments section.

Course Description

This course will provide an overview of a new vision for Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in which people are surrounded by intelligent and intuitive interfaces embedded in the everyday objects around them. It will focus on understanding enabling technologies and studying applications and experiments, and, to a lesser extent, it will address the socio-cultural impact. Students will read and discuss the most relevant articles in related areas: smart environments, smart networked objects, augmented and mixed realities, ubiquitous computing, pervasive computing, tangible computing, intelligent interfaces and wearable computing. Finally, they will be asked to come up with new ideas and start innovative projects in this area.

Syllabus

Course Overview

Ambient Intelligence envisions a world where people are surrounded by intelligent and intuitive interfaces embedded in the everyday objects around them. These interfaces recognize and respond to the presence and behavior of an individual in a personalized and relevant way.

Goals

  • Provide an overview of this new vision for HCI.
  • Read and discuss the most relevant articles in related areas: smart environments, smart networked objects, augmented + mixed realities, ubiquitous computing, pervasive computing, tangible computing, intelligent interfaces and wearable computing.
  • Focus on understanding enabling technologies and studying applications and experiments. To a lesser extent address the socio-cultural impact.
  • Come up with new ideas, start innovative projects in this area.
