The course introduces the concepts of Human-Computer Interaction that allow designing effective systems for users' needs both from the point of view of the simplicity of interaction and the naturalness of the use (fundamental aspects in the biomedical field). Programming and computer vision techniques are presented for the realization of advanced interaction systems. Furthermore, interaction evaluation is introduced: design of experimental sessions and data analysis.
The course introduces the concepts of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) which allow to design effective systems for users' needs both from the point of view of the simplicity of interaction and of the naturalness of using the system as a whole. Programming and computer graphics techniques for the realization of advanced interaction systems (based for example on Kinect and stereoscopic televisions). Introduction to interaction evaluation: design of experimental sessions and data analysis.
Attendance and active participation in the proposed training activities and individual study will enable the student to: know the theoretical tools to design advanced interaction systems; use the theoretical and practical tools for the realization of advanced interaction systems; develop the skills to operationally apply the concepts learned in the virtual and augmented reality.
Combination of traditional lectures and practice.
- Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Virtual reality (VR) and Augmented reality (AR), and their historical perspective;
- elements of object oriented programming in C#;
- key elements in computer graphics and geometric modeling;
- computer vision algorithms for pose detection, motion analysis, and tracking ;
- introduction to the development platforms for VR and AR, e.g. Unity3D and Vuforia;
- techniques and algorithms for tracking the environment and the user and the
co-registration of reference systems;
- methods for assessing of human-machine interaction;
- methods for assessing the user experience;

Final assignment and oral exam.
Details on how to prepare for the exam and the degree of depth of each topic will be given during the lessons. Through the monographic project, the student must demonstrate that he/she is able to develop simple systems of interaction in virtual and augmented reality environments. The oral exam will verify the actual knowledge of the theoretical topics learned during the semester.
