The Interactive Systems research group (IAS) was founded in 2000 by Professor Martin Hitz. Its core competencies span the areas of usability engineering, novel interaction mechanisms, non-
Human-centered computing and design is the central theme of most of our research activities. Much of our work is currently focused on the interaction between the human and the artifacts or digital devices she uses. Thereby we are particularly interested in various aspects of user-
- mobility and integration of computerized components into everyday artefacts/devices (form factors, interaction mechanisms, application areas),
- accessibility (under-

- various interface paradigms (3D, virtual- and augmented reality, ubiquitous/pervasive computing).
We offer several courses on interactive systems and related topics, such as Visual Design of Interactive Systems, Mobile Human-
