Developing assistive technologies involves addressing numerous requirements, and motivating engineers to seek perfect solutions, but this drive can sometimes result in overengineering, leading to ineffective, unsatisfactory outcomes. In this lecture, Prof. Dr. Heike Vallery focuses on her groundbreaking work in the field of human-machine interaction, and ineffective, unsatisfying, long-lasting development processes. Furthermore, she shares her expertise and insights into the delicate balance between engineering and effective human-machine interaction. @RWTHAachenUniversity, @tudelft
