Graduate reading seminar on emerging hot topics in human-computer interaction

HCI is interdisciplinary, incorporating fields such as Computer Science, Psychology, & Design. The Future of HCI will be even more so. We will cover recent papers that represent new directions and opportunities in HCI: brain-computer interfaces, smart cities, human computation, augmented reality, crowdsourcing, personalized health, environmental sustainability.

This weekly reading seminar is being offered for-credit to University of Maryland students, but held openly using a wiki and Google Plus. There will be approximately one reading per week.
