This course introduces the students to the fundamentals of Human Computer Interaction. These include principles of good design and user interface and various aspects that have to do with the interface are discussed such as the devices used in such interactions, the notions of colour and content, the design process and the consideration of human-centred factors. The students will also better understand what drives the design of Graphical User Interfaces before moving on to specifics related to the design of screens and windows, all of which serve certain functionalities that are to be developed in any application. The notions of information visualisation, time, etc., will also be discussed in the context of HCI.
