Winter 2020: Engineering Interactive Systems

Classroom instruction will focus on a review of current research topics and literature in technical HCI areas, including interactive technologies, augmented reality, haptics, wearables, shape-changing interfaces, and more. Homework assignments will take the form of mini-projects designed to build hands-on skills in the use of laser cutters, 3D printers, sensing and signal acquisition, embedded systems, and machine learning for event and activity recognition. The class will culminate in a final project where teams of students will pitch, build, and demo a self-defined project using the skills developed in this course.
