Description: Mathieu Nancel's web page. It describes my research interests and achievements, my teachings, and some information about me.
I am a permanent researcher in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) at the Loki lab at Inria Lille – Nord Europe (France) since 2016.
My ongoing research focuses on the temporality of Human-Computer interactions, from the user's physiological and cognitive capabilities to the way interactive systems are designed and built—and how to make them better. That involves: describing and modeling psycho-motor phenomena, sometimes challenging assumptions about the users' capabilities and best interests as with Interaction Interferences , clutching , or our Zero-Delay Marking Menu studies, designing interaction mechanisms that apply these findings
My background is in software engineering, and my research toolbox borrows from experimental psychology, interactive systems engineering, and interaction design. During my PhD and subsequent postdocs I have worked extensively on interacting at a distance with large displays, focusing on designing and evaluating interaction techniques for cursor control ( e.g. [ C3 , J2 , C6 , C12 ]), command selection [ C4 , C8 ], and virtual navigation [ C1 ], with an interest in exploring and leveraging new * sensing techn
