This seminar course introduces research topics in human-computer interaction (HCI). The course is designed to focus on a variety of topics, including interaction techniques, ubiquitous computing, context-aware computing, tangible interfaces, mobile interfaces, wearable interfaces, augmented reality, virtual reality, and digital fabrication but we will also cover other topics like rapid prototyping tools and analysis of HCI experiments. This course involves a mix of lectures given by professor and students with a major focus on the discussion of selected papers from ACM SIGCHI or ACM UIST Conference Proceedings.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS

At SFU, you are expected to act honestly and responsibly in all your academic work. Cheating, plagiarism, or any other form of academic dishonesty harms your own learning, undermines the efforts of your classmates who pursue their studies honestly, and goes against the core values of the university.
