Description
Students will learn how to augment everyday artefacts and spaces, with non-visual feedback such as sound, motion or vibration. The focus will be on the topic of changing behaviours about energy consumption in the household.
This course is an introduction to embodied interaction design, on theoretical, practical and technical level. Students will explore social and phenomenological aspects of interaction. This is a project did jointly with Studio I, Theorie III and Technologie III.
