- Theoretical framework of Tangible User Interfaces
- Design examples of Tangible User Interfaces
- Enabling technologies for Tangible User Interfaces
Students will design and develop experimental Tangible User Interfaces, applications, underlying technologies, and theories using concept sketches, posters, physical mockups, working prototypes, and a final project report. The course will have 3 hours of lecture and 1 hour of laboratory per week.
