Human-Computer-Interaction

Interaction between humans and computers plays a central role in digitalisation. That is why the usability analysis of user interfaces and the development of new interaction concepts play an important role in teaching and research at FUAS. An important area of application is computer-based education, e.g. in schools or in a medical context.

Successful designs of digital products are human-centred. The research profile Human-Computer Interaction is an important pillar of teaching, research and transfer at FUAS.

More than 20 people work at the CIVU (Center for Interaction, Visualization and Usability); they work around a core made up of 8 professors from the Media Informatics and Applied Computer Science degree programmes. Their areas of expertise and interest are:

  • Usability,
  • (medical) visualisation,
  • virtual/augmented reality,
  • ubiquitous computing,
  • serious games and
  • intermedia
  • artificial intelligence (AI).

Our strength lies in working across disciplines: The close connection between computer science and design is at the core of everything we do; from the first semester of study to the transfer project with established companies, start-ups, school partners or other stakeholders in our region.  Our labs, AR/VR, human experience or usability for example, give our students the opportunity to acquire the theoretical and practical skills they need to successfully align digital products with the needs of their users.
