This course introduces developing cutting-edge interactive technologies, exploring the underlying engineering principles, and tracing their evolution over time. Besides lectures, You will work in a studio format, dedicating extended periods to building both software and hardware prototypes. You will be able to create your own interactive hardware/software prototypes and present them in a live demo at the end of the term.
Students with little or no background in the field are welcome!
