Course content

This course identifies Embodied Interaction as an important subfield of Interaction Design.

Building on the starting point of embodied interaction as an umbrella for physical computing, wearables, haptics and tangible interactions, this course:

1. redefines embodiment in terms of materiality and asks for an awareness of whose bodies and what bodies are designed;

2. opens critical engagement with contemporary politics and economics;

3. fosters awareness and experimentation of methodologies, including experimental prototyping, performative and critical approaches to design in heterogeneous design situations.

4. supports the production of a collaborative design prototype

5. develops skills of scholarly reading, writing, thinking and discussion.

Entry requirements

15 credits within the main field of study Interaction design.
