Emerging Interactive Technologies

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course offers instruction in developing cutting-edge interactive technologies, exploring the underlying engineering principles, and tracing their evolution over time. Students work in a studio format, dedicating extended periods to building both software and hardware prototypes. Topics include interactive technologies such as multi-touch, augmented reality, haptics, wearables, and shape-changing interfaces. Through a group project, students create their own interactive hardware/software prototypes and present them in a live demo at the end of the term.
