HCI 531 - Seminar in Contemporary Topics in HCI - Vision and Design
Catalog Year 2009-2010
This course is an exploration of the visual and perceptual
processes that underlie the perception of the visual arts. The
starting point for this course is Gibson’s theory of direct
perception, the human visual system has evolved to directly respond
to visual stimulation. The information about surfaces, objects and
motion resides within the optic array that strikes our retinas.
Anything we perceive must be specified by invariant properties of
the stimulus, directly detected. The course will take a more
computational approach in exploring the higher level perceptual
processes such as perceiving form and structure. The course will
also focus on the design implications of those processes. In
addition to an appreciation of the visual system, students will
gain an understanding of how the perception of and the design of
visual art are driven by those visual processes.
PREREQ: Admission to HCI or Art graduate programs or instructor permission.
