Master of Mathematics in Computer Science - Human Computer Interaction

University of Waterloo

Human computer interaction (HCI) focuses on the design, evaluation and implementation of interactive computing systems. In a nutshell, we make systems easier-to-use, more efficient, and more compelling. In pursuit of these goals, HCI draws upon a wide range of fields, including the behavioural sciences, social sciences, visual arts, design and engineering. Current research projects focus on crowdsourcing, citizen science, gesture-based interaction, touch input, novel applications of machine learning and information retrieval in end-user applications, and the intersection of art and HCI.
