Interaction, Innovation, and Impact Studio (Ix3) 2: Translational Solutions

6 units

Ix3 partners with researchers across campus seeking socially innovative and impactful digital products and design solutions. In Studio 2, student teams expand on research conducted in Studio 1 to design, prototype, test, and develop translational digital product solutions to the proposed research question. These solutions may include applications, new systems, interfaces, games, immersive simulations, wearables, toys, dashboards, and more. Alongside their research, students engage in various exercises, readings, workshops, and with guest speakers. Simultaneously, they work with faculty and domain area experts to contextualize collaborative research in a culminating public portfolio presentation contextualizing the full scope of the team’s Ix3 research project, each team members’ individual contributions, and showcasing a final comprehensive translational solution or product.
