Description

This course, which is part of the IGR Filière and the IGD Master, presents methods and techniques for designing efficient, user-friendly user interfaces. It focuses on software development (GUI toolkits, Web interfaces, Statecharts, MVC, multi-threading) and on human factors (user-centered design, evaluation, ergonomics, empirical laws and models). It also presents novel emerging techniques

• Prerequisite : IGR201 or equivalent (C++ and/or Java programming, Qt and Android toolkits, Web interfaces)
