Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
Research
Our research concerns analysis and design of computerized work environments. A goal is to ensure usability (satisfaction, efficiency and effectiveness) and reduce complexity for computer users. Most of our research is performed within governmental authorities, organisations and industrial settings, where our role is to guide the development of usable systems through user-centred design activities. A significant part of our research concerns complex computer systems intended for professional users in their everyday work. Here we are also studying organisational aspects and work environment problems. Current research domains are:
Human control of complex systems: high-speed ferry operation, train driver operation, train traffic control, simulators
Administrative work environments: case-handling, call center operation
Health care: decision support systems, teleradiology, home health care
Visualization: tactical control and command systems, virtual learning lab, 3D tools
Work environment: Physical, psychosocial and cognitive work environment in computer supported work
We have extensive experience in international research with foreign partners and within larger EC-projects.
