Course Description
In this course you will explore advanced theory and principles of interaction design. You will evaluate the potentials of state-of-the art technologies to create interactive work that goes beyond the screen experience. The course will examine ways in which interaction design is informed by social and cultural issues. You will also use digital tools, systems, and environments to explore new modes of expression through interaction. This includes developing skills in software-based authoring environments. A focus of the course will be developing an iterative approach as you research, plan, document and build interactive prototypes.
