Om kursen
The course provides an introduction to the design and prototype development of IoT systems to promote good user experience and design.
It includes tools and processes for conceptualization, prototyping, as well as testing the experiences of different user groups, to validate the relevance and design choices of IoT systems.

Kursinnehåll
The course introduces current tools and techniques for:
1. Visualisation and description of concepts of an imagined IoT system, as well as relevant scenario-based user experiences (UX) that are the aim of the chosen design.
2. Development of prototypes representing minimum viable products (MVPs), i.e., that are of particular relevance in allowing early evaluation of the intended product’s potential.
3. Evaluation of concept ideas and prototypes in terms of design choices as compared to the user experience, as well as the suitability of the technical solutions, in terms of potential for further development into complete IoT products or additional prototype development needs.
Specific aspects for IoT systems related to design and development are discussed to provide justification for the design of concepts and prototypes, as well as evaluation of user experiences and technical possibilities.
The course also introduces strategies for identifying and using relevant representatives of intended user groups to support the design of user groups (including aspects such as gender, ethnicity and age distribution) as well as forms of evaluation of user experiences.
