COS 417 - Spatial Interaction Design

The objective of this course is to provide a hands-on experience of interaction design research practice focusing on interactive prototype construction. The principles and technologies of interaction design will be learned through adding expressive interactions to objects and spaces around us (spatial interactions). Interaction Design (IxD) discovers people’s needs, understands the context of use, frames product opportunities, and proposes useful, usable, and desirable (usually digital) products. Interaction designers often work with narrative to explore and refine desired behaviors and user experience.
