Human Computer Interaction (GIST)
The Glasgow Interactive Systems Group (GIST) focuses on ubiquitous computing, mobility, multimodal interaction, visualisation and modelling. Key HCI research sub-groups are:
- Multimodal Interaction Group (Stephen Brewster)
- Social Ubiquitous Mobile Group (Matthew Chalmers)
- Interactive Teaching and Technology (Quintin Cutts)
- Technology for Learning and Teaching (Steve Draper)
- Software, Technology, Tools and Methods (Phil Gray)
- Glasgow Accident Analysis Group (Chris Johnson)
- Dynamics and Interaction (Rod Murray-Smith)
- Diagram Evaluation (Helen Purchase)
- Graphical Authentification and Email Usage (Karen Renaud)
Our research has a strong focus on users as well as computing science, therefore the group is multi-disciplinary with members drawn from the Departments of Computing Science, Psychology, Community Health and Music. We also have strong links with other universities and companies, such as the Universities of Strathclyde, Nottingham, The Hamilton Institute, Grenoble and Toulouse, Nokia, NASA and IBM.
