This course is an in­tro­duc­tion to emerg­ing, in­ter­ac­tive multi-me­dia tech­nol­ogy with a focus on in­ter­dis­ci­pli­nary, pro­ject-based, co­op­er­a­tive learn­ing. Stu­dents will be im­mersed in the pro­to­cols and processes of emerg­ing and in­ter­ac­tive media de­sign, in­clud­ing: idea de­vel­op­ment, re­search, doc­u­men­ta­tion, pre­sen­ta­tion, pro­to­typ­ing, and pro­duc­tion, which will serve them in the face of rapid changes in tech­nol­ogy. Stu­dents will ex­plore basic the­o­ret­i­cal and ap­plied con­cepts of audio, vi­sual, hap­tic, im­mer­sive, sen­sory and in­ter­ac­tion de­sign through cre­ative group pro­jects, vis­it­ing pro­fes­sion­als, field trips and on­line doc­u­men­ta­tion of their work.

This course is an introduction to emerging, interactive multi-media technology with a focus on interdisciplinary, project-based, cooperative learning. Students will be immersed in the protocols and processes of emerging and interactive media design, including: idea development, research, documentation, presentation, prototyping, and production, which will serve them in the face of rapid changes in technology. Students will explore basic theoretical and applied concepts of audio, visual, haptic, immersive, sensory and interaction design through creative group projects, visiting professionals, field trips and online documentation of their work.
