My first guest this year is Hilda Tellioğlu, associate professor at the Institute for Visual Computing & Human-Centered Technology at the Vienna University of Technology. And Dean of Studies for Computer Science. She also holds management positions in various research initiatives, such as the Multidisciplinary Design & User Research Unit, the Centre for Informatics and Society and the Center for Technology and Science.
We spoke about her research focus: user centered design. At first is was discussed, why the topic is safety-relevant. A central question was of course, what human-centered design is. In addition to current options for making systems safer with user-centered design, innovative options were also discussed.
Ms. Tellioğlu recommended the following literature on the subject, among others:
- User-Centered Design: Why and How to Put Users First in Software Development by Dieter Wallach and Sebastian C. Scholz (2012)
- Socio-technical systems by Emery and Trist (1960)
- Interaction Design: Beyond Human-Computer Interaction by Helen Sharp, Jennifer Preece and Yvonne Rogers (5th edition from 2019)
