HCI group of the department of ergonomics and psychology at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics

ABSTRACT

Our HCI group developed mutually useful relationships with industrial partners, like MATÁV Hungarian Telecom, Paks Nuclear Power Plant, Graphisoft, Nokia, EuroControl, etc., successfully accomplishing various R&D projects in very different fields.We apply a variety of evaluation methods, including a complex methodology called INTERFACE developed by us. This system is based on the continuous and simultaneous recording of heart period variability, time data of keystroke and mouse events, video images of users' behaviour and screen content.
