| Numerous mobile devices proliferate in modern technological landscape. They are rapidly getting integrated in every aspect of our daily lives. We live in the age of so called, ubiquitous computing, so much so that majority of people begins to take their own daily reliance on technology for granted. As computational power of our mobile devices grows the boundary between them and traditional desktop computers is getting blurred. Smooth transition from desktop to laptop, to touchpad and smartphone has led to a fundamental change in the way we as people interact with our electronic devices. Products offering novel ways of human computer interaction appear on market almost daily. The Human Computer Interface, the way in which our physical bodies and biological senses directly interact with electronic device, is the most intimate level we communicate on with technology. The aim of this course is to give some overview of current trends in this fast growing field and perhaps offer glimpse into possible future directions of development. |
