| Dipl. Inform, Dr.-Ing. eva(at)ehornecker(dot)de Professor of HCI at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar in Germany, chairing the Human Computer Interaction group in the Dept. of Media Computing, Faculty of Media From autumn 2008 I was a SICSA lecturer at the University of Strathclyde, co-leading the Mobiquitous Lab in Glasgow, UK. I worked at several places before, including the UK's Open University, Sussex University, the Vienna University of Technology, and the HitLabNZ, following my PhD in Bremen, Germany. |

| Research Opportunities: These include visiting research periods (for a theses) or if you have any other ideas for collaborations, drop me an email! Weimar students: if you are interested in doing a bachelor/master thesis in HCI, please contact me! News We presented 2 papers at TEI'13, first-authored by my PhD students Trevor and Tobias, one each, plus a WiP by Loraine :-) Loraine Clarke presented a WiP
poster at CHI 2013 on her museum installation
evaluation work. |
My research interests are the design and user experience of 'beyond the desktop' interaction (this includes multitouch surfaces, tangible interaction, whole-body interaction, mobile devices, and physical(ly embedded) computing), support of social/collaborative interactions, and, very generally, the social/societal implications of technology. My paper 'Beyond Affordance: Tangibles' Hybrid Nature' got the BEST PAPER AWARD at TEI 2012 ... if you haven't read enough theory papers by me... |

CHI'14, was an AC for CHI'13, Theme
Chair on the Design Processes theme for ACM DIS'12 in Newcastle UK, ACM
CHI'12 Interactivity Explorations chair - Poster
co-chair for ITS 2012 and now also for 2013
(Interactive Tabletops and Surfaces) - a busy
year! Since spring 2011 I am forum editor for an article series on Tangible and Embodied Interaction for ACM's interaction magazine. Check out my intro article in the ACM DL and the list of published articles so far ! Every second issue of interactions features an article for this forum (contact me if you want to contribute!) Over summer 2010, we conducted a formative user study of five touchscreen and interactive table prototype installations for the National Trust Scotland. The new Robert Burns Birthplace museum in Alloway hosts the final installations and some of the flash-based games we tested are now available on their website. |
The Tangible Interaction
Framework - thinking about physical space and social
interaction A new, beautifully designed version of the Tangible Interaction Framework Brainstorming Card Game is available (thanks to Designer Elisabeth Eichhorn Berlin/Potsdam!) Photos The best thing about the Livingstone Tower is the views of Glasgow... Photos from Glasgow and Scotland - beautiful city and country... |
| Strathclyde's 2nd year
students did a group project in physical computing using
Arduino in my 'Approaches to Multimedia' class. Here is
an overview of the best projects in 2009
and 2010
- some of these are pretty amazing for a 6 weeks project in 3d
term of studies... (need to update with 2011 and 2012 images -
better each year!) |

from NZ ('06/7) on flickr (this is only 1/3d...) Most of what I know in beautiful Christchurch is now in ruins due to the recent earthquake. Its painful to look at some of these pictures... from Boulder, Colorado (2001) |
