During the classes, participants will have an opportunity to listen to general lectures, including: how digital technologies can help in establishing and nurturing interpersonal relations, as well as more specialized ones. School participants will also have the chance to broaden their knowledge of designing experiences in virtual reality (VR), learn about the practical applications of electromyography, as well as the challenges of designing interactive artificial intelligence (AI) systems. These are fields that are currently experiencing dynamic development and are extremely forward-looking, so we hope that the participants will complete the summer school not only with an original solution developed during the classes, but also with plethora of new knowledge and experience - explain the organizers of the summer school at TUL.
During Lodz HCI Summer School 2022, classes for master students and engineers as well as doctoral students will be run in parallel, in the form of workshops in project groups under the supervision of the best lecturers, and lectures will be delivered by scientists from all over the world. Opening on Friday, June 24 at 6:00 p.m. in the auditorium of the International Faculty of Engineering (IFE) at ul. Żwirki 36. On Saturday morning (June 25), the inaugural lecture will be given by Professor Morten Fjeld from the Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg.
The organizers of the event are: Institute of Applied Computer Science at the Faculty of Electrical Electronic, Computer and Control Engineering, TUL and IFE, in cooperation with the Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg and with the support of ACM SIGCHI (Human-Computer Interaction Division of the International Computing Machines Association), as well as the Polish Information Technology Society.
The event is financed partly from EU funds under the Integrated Programme of Lodz University of Technology - 2nd edition and the Integrated Programme of Lodz University of Technology for the development of the Lodz region implemented under the Knowledge Education Development Operational Programme for 2014-2020.
