Research ThemesMy general field of interest is human computer interaction in the area of ubiquitous computing. My previous research activity was focused on novel interfaces, deploying tangible objects in order to improve human computer interaction and to create new modes of interaction. I am similarly interested in the technical aspect as well as evaluation and analysis of novel interaction. My overall goal is to find new interaction which lets the user deploy their natural, embodied interaction skills in an intuitive way and consequently to increase the overall experience and performance of human computer interaction for both novice and experienced users. |
