Description
As applications and user experiences continue to evolve past the boundaries of the device and melt into the fabric of the world at large, the jobs of architects and interface designers are becoming ever more entangled and indistinguishable. In this world, a considered awareness of space and place is mandatory for the practitioners that mediate the environments where application states intersect states of mind. This course exposes participants to contemporary off-screen interfaces and ambient interaction in the rest of the universe, outside of the device. Reflecting on the physics and psychology of space, students will consider the theoretical and technical foundations of tangible, pervasive and ubiquitous computing, as well as future directions for emerging technologies including Mixed Realities and the Web of Everything, and apply their experimentation in support of the development of a relevant semester project, scaffolded by targeted readings, discussion sessions and workshops.
