The Engineering Human-Computer Interaction (EHCI) research group is one of the 24 research teams of the Grenoble Informatics Laboratory (LIG). EHCI is primarily concerned with the software aspects of Human-Computer Interaction. Our mission is to define new concepts, models and software tools for designing, implementing, and evaluating interaction techniques that are effective, usable, and enjoyable. This group has extensive experience in software architecture for interactive systems, multimodal and mixed reality interaction, context-aware distributed and migratory user interfaces.
To know more about the team: Identity card, Oral presentation, and Activity report (2005–2009).
Research themes:
- Engineering for human-computer interaction: model, method, software architecture
- Innovative interaction technique
- Multimodal and collaborative interaction
- Interaction for small handheld devices and mobility
- Plastic context-aware user interfaces
- Mixed reality interaction
Application domains:
- Exploration of large information spaces (e.g., temporal data, large tables, maps, web)
- Collaborative multimodal command posts (e.g., unmanned aerial vehicles, security aid)
- Smart spaces and objects (e.g., smart home and office, citizen space, museum, ballet, augmented objects)
- Games, serious games
- Archeology
Teaching:
Members of the EHCI team teach at the Grenoble Universities: UJF-Grenoble 1, UPMF-Grenoble 2 and Grenoble INP. In particular, we are responsible for the academic program of the option Ubiquitous and Interactive Systems within the Master of Science in Informatics at Grenoble (MoSIG).
