Interaction & Experience Design

• Overview of future technologies and novel interaction paradigms
• Internet of Things, wearable computing, augmented reality, virtual reality, human-robot interaction, embedded interaction, brain-computer interfaces
• Research-through-design
• Fundamentals of prototyping (e.g., 3D printing, sewing, laser cutting)
• Fundamentals of interaction design (e.g., Arduino)
• Prototyping
• Approaches to analyzing new technologies and forms of interaction (more-than-human design, speculative design, feminist HCI, critical computing, postphenomenology, genius design, value-sensitive computing)

Students are able to explore the potential of novel forms of interaction and future technologies using the research-through-design methodology. They can apply advanced techniques and methods of interaction design to develop and evaluate innovative concepts for personal, social, societal, and non-anthropocentric interactions. Students are also able to critically analyze the implications of these forms of interaction and reflect on their own design-based research. By the end of the module, they can conceive, implement, and evaluate a tangible, functioning prototype (e.g., for wearables, smart objects, or social robots).

The languages ​​of instruction are German and English. This module is at bachelor's level.
