There are no special requirements beyond having an open mind to understand what human-centered informatics entails.

The course is aimed at training students in the knowledge of different advanced systems development techniques with a people-centered paradigm. This course will show an overview of what is human-centered computing, human-computer interaction, usability engineering, interaction objectives (collaboration, fun,...), advanced interaction paradigms (ubiquitous computing, cross reality, web...), methods and techniques of requirements analysis, design and evaluation. In addition, it is considered a primary objective to foster in students a critical and analytical spirit, which allows them to determine to have a vision of the research fields in the area of human-centered informatics. Specifically, it is intended that students acquire knowledge that allows them - Understand the scientific principles and bases of human-computer interaction. - Understand and analyze the interaction problems that can arise in the development of people-centered systems. - Know and use various methods and techniques for evaluating interactive systems. - Analyze and design interaction mechanisms. - Identify new fields of research in the field of ¿¿human-centered computing.

- Human centered informatics - Human-Computer Interaction - Interaction paradigms - Advanced interaction: tangible interaction, wearables, intelligent interfaces and cross-reality - Interaction analysis and design - Evaluation of interactive systems

- Lectures, during with the teachers will present the theoretic concepts. It is expected that students participate actively in the lectures. - Presentation and discussion of articles and works related to the subject of the course. - The student proposes a project according to the teachers guidance to go deeply into some aspect of the course, followed by public presentation.
