DES 198 - Designing Interactions

Interaction design is about how people experience objects and information. This course explores the mechanics of engagement and modes of interactivity, considering experience through characteristics of people, things and situations. We examine scenarios, moments, conversations and actions along with artwork, products, displays and messages. Beginning with the physical and then progressing to digital, students will design plans, interventions and prototypes to influence person-person, person-space, person-object and person-screen(s) experiences.
