%Description HCI is a recent addition to under-graduate and
post-graduate degree courses in computing with a strong industry
orientation.  Courses are part-time and full-time.  It is one of
7 Key Centres for teaching and research in Australia.  HCI
research is conducted in one of these Key Centre Laboratories.
%Facilities The range of  computer facilities available to
students in SOCS includes:
 * UNIX workstations (Sun Microsystems and Silicon Graphics)
 * IBM compatible microcomputers
 * Macintosh microcomputers
 * IBM minicomputer using VSE/SP VM/SP
 * ASCII terminals
 * X terminals
and numerous other specialised computing equipment.
   All significant computing equipment in the School is
interconnected via an Ethernet LAN and access to the world's
computing community via AARNET (using Internet etc).
   A fully-equipped Usability Laboratory is being completed in
1993 and contains: portable video cameras, monitors, various
editing equipment, playback facilities, assorted computers
