Possible changes to your unit's learning activities and assessment items
As a result of the Australian Government's directives requiring physical distancing and restrictions on movement because of the COVID-19 pandemic, you may find that learning activities and/or assessment items in some units you are studying have changed. These changes will not be updated in the published Unit Outline but will be communicated to you via your unit’s UCLearn(Canvas) teaching site. The new learning activities and/or assessment items will continue to meet the unit's learning outcomes, as described in the Unit Outline.

Syllabus
This unit explores a genre of interaction design which goes beyond the graphical interface paradigm. Students will create interaction design solutions with technologies embedded into physical objects and environments. Students are introduced to various techniques of physical computing that will allow them to build rich interactive environments that exploits input and output through a combination of various multi-sensor and display technologies.
Learning Outcomes
After successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:
1. Critically analyse how tangible and embodied interactive qualities differ from other forms of interaction;
2. Apply theoretical concepts and technical skills to evaluate experimental interaction design solutions for real world problems; and
3. Ideate and prototype tangible interactions using multi-sensory systems in product and screen design.
Assessment Items
Contact Hours
Three hours of on-campus lectures, group work, practical exercises (hacking sessions), user testing, design critique, reports and seminars per week.
