DESCRIPTION:Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is a multi-disciplinary field
  investigating the boundary between man and machine. With the advent of el
 ectronic interactive technologies during past decade\, the field turns eve
 r more relevant and important. This talk will present HCI issues for a few
  special cases where conventional interactive devices and user interfaces 
 do not work. The use cases will include people with severe physical impair
 ment\, farmers in India and pilots of Eurofighter Typhoon combat aircraft.
  The talk will introduce a concept called user modelling\, that helps to p
 ersonalize user interfaces for people with different range of abilities an
 d contexts of use. The personalization feature is further augmented with i
 ntelligent interactive systems where users can control electronic interfac
 es simply by looking\, gesturing and talking to it. The talk will conclude
  with a few demonstration videos of our recent multi-modal adaptive system
