Abstract

Usually, courses are given on human-computer interaction, while in recent years there was a major shift towards (mobile) devices and machines, with new human interfaces. Of course, they include embedded computers and software, but their interaction with users poses many new challenges and offers new solutions. This tutorial shows manifold usability problems as observed by the presenter in daily life, beyond those usually known from graphical user interfaces (GUIs) of traditional PCs (including laptop computers). It explains them by human factors usually unknown to embedded engineers and motivates user experience. User-centered and Usage-centered Design are compared with the result that they typically overlap but have a different focus each on Interaction Design. Usability Test and Usability Study are explained and contrasted as well. In addition, this tutorial explains key properties of Multimodal Interfaces and UIs of Mobile Devices. Finally, it culminates in a sketch of specific challenges of Human-Robot Interaction.
