Human Computer Interaction
We aim to research, understand, analyse and learn user behaviour to improve user interaction and experience. We currently pursue a number of research projects that look at different aspects of interaction analysis and modelling. Our work mainly involves experimentation and research related to human-centred web. We have research projects on web accessibility, mobile/ubiquities web, eye tracking, web page segmentation, web page transcoding, and intelligent systems to improve the web experience of users. Therefore, our work is within the Human Computer Interaction field broadly that aims to understand how users interact with the web and how the web, through its design, technology and infrastructure, enables users to interact with it.
We have Interaction Analysis and Modelling Lab (IAM) at METU NCC (IAM@METU NCC) which is equipped with an eye tracker and a user study lab that can be used to conduct user experiments. IAM Lab @ METU NCC and Interaction Analysis and Modelling Lab (IAM@Mcr) in the School of Computer Science at the University of Manchester, UK is a federated network of research labs pursuing similar research and development goals.
