DGAD 3313 - UX and Interaction Design for Emerging Technologies

This course will introduce the students to the world of augmented, mixed, and virtual reality interfaces with a focus on developing the skills necessary to create user interfaces which will enable new kinds of user experiences by superimposing digital content onto the user's real world view or creating fully immersive virtual world experiences. Students will learn the differences between AR/VR, about the technical and design requirements for creating such user experiences, and how to prototype and develop their first AR/VR interfaces. Students will expand their personal digital design vocabulary by trying new and alternative processes and techniques. Course content will explore the theory, methodology, and technical skills necessary to create meaningful, multisensory, interactive experiences. Students will constructively critique the work of others from formal, technical, and conceptual frames-of reference. Laboratory fee. 3 credits.
