The HCI group's major concern is how to make design of computer interfaces better for humans to use.
Interface design becomes essential in order to make systems effective, useable and aesthetic.
Interfaces have to be intuitive, visually inviting, mentally engaging and smoothly functional if users are to exploit them. The HCI group is interdiciplinary and represents psychology, history, business administration, and computer science. The research focus is on the integration of Human Computer Interaction with Visual Communication and the aim is to contribute with theoretical and methodological knowledge to support design of interfaces. Visual Communication is seen as an essential basis for the design of IT-interfaces. However, digital interfaces embed interactions, and this makes them radically different from traditional graphical products.
