Corequisite: GDES 3B53 Interactive Communication: Beyond The Screen - Digital Workshop
Interactive Communication: Beyond the Screen will focus on a variety of interactive experiences that take the user beyond the screen, into the realm of technologically enabled and “aware” devices, systems and environments. Students will employ iterative and participatory design strategies to create prototypes for embodied interactive experiences such as ambient, adaptive, expressive, persuasive or locative technologies. The emphasis will be on effective design of advanced interactive communications and digital applications that in addition may intersect with individual thesis realization.
Notes: There is a digital workshop attached to this course.
