MMDI 405 Innovative Interfaces College of Art, Media & Design School of Design
3 credits 90.0 hours
400 level undergraduate course
The notion of the digital environment transcends the concept of the computer as we know it. These addresses and environments, although supported by digital technology, are non-computer-like in many respects.

Using cross-disciplinary data from cognitive and computer sciences and social psychology, the students in this research/studio course focus primarily on the design and development of innovative ways of interacting with digital technology.
