After finishing the course, the student has obtained an overview of the field of HCI and 'interaction design'. The foundation will be laid for building usable interactive systems and ensuring that these systems provide a great user experience. The most prominent theoretical and practical competences and skills for the design, implementation and evaluation of interactive systems are developed in this course.
After successfully completing the course, the student can…
- explain the fields of HCI and interaction design (in particular interaction, cognitive/social/emotional aspects, interfaces, the design process, prototyping and evaluation);
- design, implement and evaluate interactive systems.

This course provides students with an introduction to Human-Computer Interaction, interaction design and user experience design. It is generally known that during the design of interactive software one systematically needs to take into account the perceptual, cognitive and motor processes of the human user(s). A great amount of research has pursued how this aim can be realised. The book of Preece et al. (2019) contains a clear introduction into this field that finds itself on the borders between technology, Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence. The central theme of this subject concerns the question how interactive software can be developed and how the usability and user experience of this software can be evaluated. The course consists of lectures and lab sessions. In the lab sessions you will use Unity to build a prototype game environment to test its usability and user experience.
