Week 2 – Research Report Progress and Further Arduino Experimentation

Week 2 Lecture – What is interaction (ID6 Design Principles)

  • Human Computer Interaction (HIC) = Interfaces
  • New technology = new ways to do and use
  • New tech is often drawn from imagination and scifi
  • Interaction (reciprocal action/ casual relationship/ interaction between a user and product/ interaction-as-dialogue)
  • GUIs (Screenbased/ heavily based on visual and auditory media and feedback)
  • Embodied interactions (Embedded in objects, peoples actions, human body used as part of interaction)
  • TUIs connect user to the digital world through physcial interaction (Haptic, materials, body based interaction)
  • ID6 Concepts Continue reading “Week 2 – Research Report Progress and Further Arduino Experimentation”

Week 1 – Getting a Start on the Project

Week 1 Lecture P.1 – Interaction

  • Types of interaction (Physical & GUIs)
  • ID6 is about the design of interactive products (Designing dynamic products/ UX and people engagement/ Object behaviour/ Learning by creating/ Proof-of-concept/ Designing with electronic specs)
  • Learning outcomes (Knowing emerging trends/ Using design narratives/ Producing cost-effective manufacture/ Communicating/ Integrating/ Managing design teams and external stakeholders) Continue reading “Week 1 – Getting a Start on the Project”
