Formål

The course investigates the potential of new materials and new media in designing interactions. It brings together students of computer science, information and media science and industrial design in investigating the potential and limitations of emerging materials and media.

Obligatorisk program

Reading a collection of research papers to prepare for practical design task. Participation in interdisciplinary groups, developing a proof of concept prototype during one-week project period in August 2011 and demonstrate the prototype at an exhibition. Written report summarizing project work providing reflection and putting the project into perspective with respect to existing literature.

Indhold

The literature will introduce the students to recent literature on interaction design for ubiquitous computing as well as new interactive materials and toolkits supporting experimentation with new materials. Materials and toolkits include shape memory alloids, smart textiles, lilypad arduinos etc. Materials and toolkits will be available for the students to use in their projects. Based on an overview of recent literature students develop proof of concept prototypes under supervision. The finally put their prototypes into perspective with respect to the literature.
