Goals of the course

• To explain the concept of interaction technique
• To introduce selected novel interaction
  techniques, interaction devices, and interaction
  technologies
• All students design a new interaction technique
  some implement them and the others write papers
  on them

Topics of the lectures

• General lectures
• 18.1. Organizing the course Interaction
• 22.1. Multimodal Human-Computer Interaction
• 29.1. Guidance for student projects

• 5.2. Interacting with Hands and Feet
• 8.2. Tactile User Interfaces
• 12.2. Text Input
• 15.2. Affective Computing

Level

• Last years of undergraduate studies, or graduate
  studies.
• i.e.,
• literature search is expected to be carried out
  by the students
• paper writing and programming is considered to be
  familiar to the students, or at least possible to
  learn during the course
• guidance is available when needed

7
Teaching

• The course consists of lectures and seminar work.
• 22 h lectures, about 6 h seminar, and guidance in
  the
• programming projects and paper writing.
• Mondays, 12-14 Pinni, Paavo Koli auditorium
• Thursdays, 15-17 Pinni, Paavo Koli auditorium
• the main lectures 18.1.-1.3., and
• the seminar 10.5. and 17.5., 15-18
• The length of the seminar depends on the amount
  of active students taking the course and will be
  announced later.

Passing the Course

• The course can be taken in a normal (3 cu) or
  long (5 cu) format.
• The normal course consists of writing a paper or
  constructing a program that includes a new
  interaction technique.
• The long course consists of either writing a
  paper and constructing a program, or constructing
  a program and writing a conference paper on it.
  This kind of paper should include some kind of
  evaluation of the program.
• In addition, active participation in the seminar
  is required.

9
Programming projects

• Programming projects can be any kind of new
  interaction techniques implemented in any
  environment.
• A short paper, up to 2 pages in ACM UIST format,
  is also written to be included in the course
  publication.
• The paper is written in English.
• A project group may consist of one to three
  persons.

10
Papers

• The papers are comprehensive surveys of
  interaction technologies, specific interaction
  techniques, or other subjects directly related to
  interaction techniques.
• Papers must present a novel interaction
  technique. In addition, there must be a
  comprehensive survey of interaction technologies,
  specific interaction techniques, or other
  subjects directly related to the presented
  interaction technique.
• These full papers are up to 8 pages in ACM UIST
  format, and they are included in the course
  publication.
• The papers are written in English.

11
Projects and papers

• The programming projects and papers may make use
  of any potential interaction techniques, devices
  and modalities.
• Detailed instructions for the programming
  projects and papers will be given on Monday,
  January 29th.

12
Other Matters

• Principles of EvaluationThere is no written
  examination in this course. The evaluation is
  based on the papers and programming projects.
• PrerequisitiesHuman-Computer Interaction
  (Ihmisen ja tietokoneen vuorovaikutus)
• other necessary courses depend on the subject of
  the project or the paper.

The End of administrative tasks (for now)
