About Us

The HCI Research Group

Photo of our headquarter in Oviedo

The Human Communication and Interaction Research Group (HCI-RG) is made up by professors, researchers and students of the Department of Computer Science of the University of Oviedo.

We have our headquarters in the city of Oviedo (Asturias, Spain).

Our Goals

Our group is devoted to the analysis on how people use their everyday tools to communicate ideas and how these tools may be used to interact with other people.

The study of the interaction between humans through technology gives its name to our research group and defines its main research goals. It is also the underlying idea behind the design of our logo, a tribute to the human hand, the first and most powerful tool.

Research Topics

Our research scope includes the following subjects:

  • Augmented Accessibility.
  • Human-Computer Confluence.
  • Ambient Intelligence, Urban Computing and Self-Awareness in Autonomic Systems.
  • Web Quality and Usability Engineering.
  • Entertainment and Games.
