Embodied Interfaces for Immersion

1 Course Unit

“Embodied Interfaces for Immersion” explores the design of Natural User Interfaces (NUIs) for Extended Realities (VR, AR, Projection Mapping) to create immersive, human-centered, and embodied experiences in physical and virtual spaces. NUIs in this context not only aim to lower cognitive load but also serve as creative tools for crafting fluid, expressive, and accessible interactions. Students will explore artistic approaches to interface design, working with a range of technologies like spatial computing, circuit bending, scripting, and fabrication, to construct human-centered, inclusive interfaces that enable meaningful, artistic experiences that deepen the connection between users and their surrounding environment.
