Human Communication and Interaction Research Group
- Human Communication and Interaction Research Group
Introduction
The Human Communication and Interaction Research Group (HCI-RG) is made up by professors, lecturers and students of the Department of Computer Science of the University of Oviedo. The headquarters are situated in the city of Oviedo (Asturias, Spain).
Research
The group is devoted to the analysis on how people use their everyday tools to communicate ideas and how these tools may be used to interact with other people.
The study of the interaction between humans through technology gives its name to the research group and defines its main research goals. It is also the underlying idea behind the design of the logo, a tribute to the human hand, the first and most powerful tool.
Topics of Interest
The research scope includes the following subjects:
* Augmented Reality and Accessibility.
* Adaptability and Personalization.
* Collaborative Work.
* Knowledge Management.
* Ambient Intelligence.
* Simulation-based Training.
* Entertainment and Games.
* Web Quality and Usability Testing.
* Intelligent Data Gathering Tools.
eMinds
International Journal on Human-Computer Interaction (ISSN: 1697-9613) is a referred journal, published and edited on a yearly basis by the Human-Communication and Interaction Research Group in collaboration with the eXus Information Architecture Society. The goal of eMinds is to develop the study of current practice, content, technology, and services on Human-Computer Interaction. This journal aims to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of ideas concerning theoretical, technical, practical, social and pedagogical issues; helping professionals working in the field to contribute, to disseminate knowledge, and to learn from each other’s work.
