Ready To Shape The Future?
The omnipresence of computing quickly takes shape. Computing is everywhere nowadays: from mobile phone apps and personal trackers, to robots. This raises questions such as; when and how should computing devices adapt to individual users? Can we think of entirely new approaches to the interaction between human and machine? And as computing pervades more and more areas of our lives - while artificial intelligence enhances further and further - can we ensure that our privacy is safeguarded? Human Computer Interaction (HCI) investigates all of these questions!
