Course Description
------------------
While computing capacities and speeds have increased remarkably,
our ability to communicate with these information engines is
still limited by inadequate interfaces between the human and the
computer. This course will explore advanced concepts and tech-
nologies for interfacing humans to complex machines, with a focus on
virtual interfaces and their potential impact on the way we think
about computers and the way we think with them.
The course can be taken as a one or three credit-hour course
(for UW students).
Students will be expected to perform individual and group
projects, make class presentations and prepare a course report.
Graduate students from the UW, other colleges, and industry
participants are invited to enroll in the course. Recommended
prerequisites for the course include a background (or at least
introductory courses) in psychology, perception, physics, and
electronics). Waiver of these requirements may be given by
permission of the instructor.

neering Program Adviser, Ms. Rhoda Rageh, at 206-543-4600.cyberoid@milton.u.washington.edu (Robert Jacobson) (11/20/90)
The course, VIRTUAL INTERFACE TECHNOLOGY, is for Winter Quarter 1990.
