Description of module content:

Through studio based activities you will explore the themes and complexities of prototyping interactive experiences. You will be introduced to exemplars of good practice in interaction design and interactive experience, along with experience prototyping, physical prototyping and "bodystorming". You will engage with basic software tools and programming environments as design tools.You will also experience prototyping in computing/electronics hardware where you will be introduced to electrical fundamentals, circuits, symbols, and soldering. You will learn about and how to use a basic micro-controller and will build sketch example prototypes utilising digital input and outputs such as LED's and switches along with analogue input and output devices including simple sensors. At the end of this you will be expected to design and build a hardware-based interactive experience.
Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Engage in basic programming for controlling interactive experiences.

LO2: Apply prototyping skills with software for designed experiences.

LO3: Demonstrate design sketching using hardware [Arduino].

LO4: Execute 2D, 3D and/or 4D CAD skills in designing for interactive environments.
