Para ello, la Asociación Interacción Persona-Ordenador (AIPO) Organiza este 1º Concurso de Trabajos Final de Grado (TFG) o
Trabajos Final de Máster (TFM) de cualquier titulación universitaria (Española o Latinoamericana) donde cualquier estudiante que haya finalizado sus estudios de Grado o Máster durante el curso académico 2013-14 o 2014-15 podrá presentar su trabajo de final de estudios.
Special track: Natural User Interfaces
DOWNLOAD SPECIAL TRACK
  Special track leader: Cristina Manresa Yee (University of Balearic Islands) and Ann Morrison (Aalborg University)
Brief Description: Since computers appeared, researchers have been conceiving new forms of interaction between people and machines. In the early stages of computer science, interaction was achieved through buttons and dials, but advancements in technology enable us to design and develop more intuitive and engaging user interfaces which can improve the effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction of the user.
Natural user interaction enables users to interact with a machine using nothing else but the human body. Users operate through intuitive actions by using gestures, touch, haptics, speech or even biosignals. There is a broad array of devices and interaction paradigm possibilities.
Objectives:
- Encourage discussion, collaboration and future working partnerships on natural user interfaces.
- Publish research, theory, practice and validation in the field of natural interaction with special attention to VBI and touch and haptic interfaces.

Cristina Manresa Yee
Cristina Manresa Yee is a lecturer and researcher in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Balearic Islands. She received her doctorate in Computer Science at the University of Balearic Islands. Her main research interests include Human-Computer Interaction, vision-based interaction, assistive technologies and usability engineering. She is currently participating in the Spanish MINECO project “Experiences in design and development of natural interfaces in industry, education and rehabilitation” (TIN2012-35427) designing vibrotactile and vision-based interfaces (VBI). Her previous research was related to designing VBI especially addressed to users with disabilities in the Spanish MCIN project “Models of interaction based in computer vision for gestural interfaces” (TIN2010-16576) and the Spanish MEC project “Natural interaction prototypes by means of enactive interfaces” (TIN-2007-67896).
