Lab purpose

In this laboratory research on various areas of HCI is conducted, for example: user modelling, natural interfaces implementation, usability evaluation of web, touch and gesture based interfaces, mobile applications usability testing and the use of modern technologies such as eye tracking, augmented reality and 3D displays.

 

Equipment (or being planned)

The equipment purchased under the ENGINE project:

• Mobile eye tracker – Tobii X-2 60
• 3D eye tracking glasses – SMI Eye Tracking Glasses 2W
• Stationary eye tracker – Tobii TX 300
• Interactive floor
• Interactive wall

• Kinect and Asus Xtion motion sensors
• 3D TV with multitouch surface– Samsung UE55F8500
• 3D projector – Epson EHTW6100W
• Touch screens

 

Current works/research

• Usability evaluation of websites and mobile applications
• Application of eye tracking as the input device for PC
• Eye tracking of visual media
• Recognition of gestures from interaction with touchscreens
