Interaction & Physical Computing

Catalog description

Interaction & Physical Computing is a course that explores the object-oriented programming and physical computing for artists and designers. Through looking at development environments such as Processing and Arduino, paired with physical components such as the Kinect, Leep Motion and sensors, we will explore how to create various interfaces and systems that bridge the virtual and physical worlds. We will explore key concepts such as Input/Output, Interface, Interaction, etc. through course work, familiarizing students with digital tools and prototyping methods. This is an entry level computation class, no programming or hardware experience or prerequisites required. 001584
