What is GIST?
GIST is an inter-disciplinary Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research group based at the University of Glasgow investigating all aspects of interactive systems focusing on ubiquitous computing, multimodal interaction, visualisation and modelling. The main research topics and sub-groups (and academics leading them) 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)
Search our key areas:
- Mobile, wireless and ubiquitous computing
- Interactive system architectures
- Multimodal interaction (haptics, earcons and 3D sound)
- Interfaces for blind, visually impaired people and older people
- Home care systems
- Collaborative filtering visualisation and information retrieval
- Accident analysis and safety critical systems
- User modelling and pattern recognition
- Theories of information representation
- Web authentification, Dynahand, email stress
- Electronic Voting Systems, Schools Computing
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, Grenoble and Toulouse, plus Nokia, NASA, Microsoft and IBM.
If you would like to be added to the GIST mailing list, to be kept informed of our seminar series or have any other comments please mail John Williamson or Stuart Reeves.
