My research lies in the fields of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), with primary interests in the following topics:
|
Novel forms of mediated communication — This topic concerns the design of interactive systems to support coordination, communication and collaboration between people. I have long been particularly interested in the use of video to support more subtle (i.e. lightweight, nuanced, implicit) and informal (i.e. spontaneous, opportunistic) interactions than those allowed by traditional systems. |
|
Novel forms of human-computer interaction — This topic concerns the design of new paradigms and techniques to significantly simplify and enhance everyday human-computer interactions. I am more particularly interested in ways to augment the desktop metaphor used to manage applications and data in most existing systems. |
In these two talks, I will present some research problems, works and perspectives related to these topics.
Keywords: groupware, computer-mediated communication, video-mediated communication, multiscale communication, graphical interaction, window systems, application redirection, window management, interaction paradigms and techniques, adaptable interfaces.
Nicolas Roussel is an Associate Professor at the Computer Science department of Paris-Sud University where he teaches Human-Computer Interaction and Computer Graphics. He is also a member of IN SITU, a joint research group between the Computer Science lab of Paris-Sud University and INRIA Saclay.
He is a member of ACM and AFIHM, the french-speaking association on HCI. He has published and served as program committee member or reviewer in international conferences such as CHI, UIST, CSCW & Multimedia (ACM) or Interact (IFIP). He is the co-creator of the Metisse window system.
