Human Computer Interaction and Usability Engineering (HCI-UsE Lab) is a research laboratory of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Salerno.

The Human Computer Interaction discipline covers all the problems related to the design, evaluation and development of interactive systems and the study of all the surrounding phenomena. On this subject, the laboratory has been carrying out a wide range of research for several years aimed at improving the user experience with modern interactive systems that affect today the different spheres of an individual's life, from health to work, to leisure time, to mobility etc. A right combination of creativity, curiosity towards emerging technologies and experience in the field of usability engineering, feeds all the lines of research carried out in the laboratory. In particular, in recent years these have affected:

• Participatory Design, User-Centered Design (UCD), and their applications in software development processes

• Human-Robot interaction

• ICT for smart cities and communities

• ICT for Emerging Regions

• AI for HCI

• Mobile Health

• Usability Evaluation

• Human-Geographic Information Systems Interaction

• Geovisualization

• Visual Query Languages for Geographic Information Systems
