New Modes of Interaction
Duration:
One day
Schedule:
Sunday, 21st March 2010
Fee:
Rs. 3,500
Participants: 10-30
Aim
The objective of the workshop is to rethink
the way we interact with existing devices/applications and services,
how new interaction
modalities can help enhance the interactions & experiences and understanding of hardware prototyping techniques. This tutorial
will also focus on understanding new modes of interaction through several
projects/case studies and a small exercise.
Content
Introduction to a prototyping tool arduino
Hands-on experience on keyboard hacking and its implementation on design
Several projects and case studies on new modes of interaction
Exercise of redesigning the existing application/service/artifact to
think on different interaction modality
Participants are requested to bring a working keyboard (not necessary
a new one, any keyboard which works).
Who should attend?
The tutorial is aimed at interaction design practitioners, designer
researchers and design students enthusiastic keen on exploring different
possibilities of interaction design, physical computing and ubiquitous
computing. Enrolled participants will be kept updated about the contents/schedule/equipments
required through email to give them prior understanding of tutorial.
