Physical Computing Studio

Catalog description

This collaborative studio course will allow interdisciplinary teams to develop wearables with a focus on assistive technology. The ubiquitous nature of mobile devices coupled with low-cost and easily integrated sensors and actuators make this a good time to approach real problems for a range of users from the physically disabled to athletes. Teams will learn skills in hardware, software, fabrication, and design communication in order to effectively develop and share their ideas. Prerequisites: 16-223 Min. grade C or 60-223 Min. grade C Course Website: http://ideate.cmu.edu/
