400 level undergraduate course

The notion of the digital environment transcends the concept of the computer as we know it. These addresses and environments, although supported by digital technology, are non-computer-like in many respects. Building them calls for changes in the choice of interaction devices (using touch, voice, gestures, and possibly just user’s intent as a basis for interaction), shape and size of computers (no boxes, but interactive surfaces), their location (floor, wall, pocket), as well as change in content structure. Using cross-disciplinary data from cognitive and computer sciences and social psychology, the students in this research/studio course focus primarily on the design and development of innovative ways of interacting with digital technology.
