Tangible and Embodied Interaction (TEI) is a genre of interaction which seeks to move beyond the graphical user interface paradigm toward experiences which engage our body and our capabilities for understanding and acting in the physical world. As a research field, TEI generates novel interaction technology and methods which the future interaction designer will need to anticipate and understand in order to design effectively. This course covers the theoretical underpinnings of the field as well as practical engagements. Furthermore, we contrast the futurism of the TEI research field with practical concerns of product development.

Module 1: Explores the topic in the form of seminars and workshops, building a theoretical perspective as well as technical competencies. Students practice creating physical prototypes that include electronics and sensors. The technical group exercises explore technological possibilities in a more playful way. Students will also analyse artifacts in relation to the field (7 HP).

Module 2: This stage consists of a group project, where students work together to create a concept that draws on tangible and embodied interaction themes (8 HP).

Malmö University provides students who participate in, or who have completed a course, with the opportunity to express their opinions and describe their experiences of the course by completing a course evaluation administered by the University. The University will compile and summarise the results of course evaluations. The University will also inform participants of the results and any decisions relating to measures taken in response to the course evaluations. The results will be made available to the students (HF 1:14).
