Synopsis

Humans perform physical tasks with abundant multimodal information from visual, auditory, tactile, and more senses. Mainstream computers still offer very limited input and output capabilities when interacting with the users (e.g., multitouch gestures, speech input). This course provides project-based knowledge on human sensory perception & cognition and technologies that accommodate these, including topics on eye-tracking, auditory UI, robotic touch interfaces. Students will conduct user studies and develop software-hardware systems that explore and leverage multimodal interaction in these projects. Later in the course, students will explore an open-ended research project guided by the instructor.

Prerequisites

No prerequisites but basic programming skills are recommended.

Policies

  • You must come to the first class to be enrolled in this class. If you are not enrolled but want to take this class, come to the first class. We will evaluate the number of students and let you know the availability before the second week.
  • Physically attending each class is important (in class user studies and demos, both graded). If you cannot attend for any reason, you should email the instructor directly and it will be handled individually.
  • No auditting. Our resources and space are limited.
  • Students should prepare their own laptops (if needed, please contact the department).

AI policy

  • Feeding assignment requirements into online AI models (e.g., ChatGPT) is strongly prohibited. You should not share slides outside of the class.
  • References should be cited and manually checked (“ChatGPT” is not a valid reference, just like “Google”).

Otherwise stated, the copyright of the materials in the class belongs to Shan-Yuan Teng.
