My research focuses on novel forms of human-computer interaction, emphasizing diverse interaction methods like speech, non-speech sounds, tactile, and haptic feedback, often inspired by users with specific needs such as the blind or elderly. Key projects include CreST, The Creative Speech Network, and mobile technology solutions for older individuals. Notably, I highlight my favorite student project on the psychophysics of touch, conducted by Theodoros Georgiou, which delves into haptics and the characterization of physical objects through innovative experimental setups.

My research From this… To this Novel forms of human-computer interaction
Forms of interaction • Speech • Non-speech sounds • Tactile • Haptic • Often inspired by users with particular needs • blind • older…
Research projects • CreST • The Creative Speech Network • Interactive tactile maps • Nickey Nazatul • Mobile technology for older people • Sonification
Research proposals • Smalltalk • a hybrid communicator for older people • An ultra-context-aware communication aid • MAT • A Musical Aptitude Test
My favourite student project • Psychophysics of touch and non-verbal characterisation of physical objects • Theodoros Georgiou, 2012 • Chosen because • haptics is exciting • Theo is a recent HCIT graduate and staying on • some useful results • - a publication?
Experiments • 1. Do people use fruit and vegetable descriptions of simulated objects? • No • 2. Can people replicate texture of real objects on the Omni? • No …well, sort-of
