Ambient Screens

I passed this course with an 8 which is really nice because we had a lot of trouble in our group but with a nice end result.

 

A project which explores new interaction concepts with Ambient Screens. This may involve developing new types of screens, new types of interaction methods, or new concepts for the interaction content concept.

 

Awareness of background offered during the lextures; preferably to be seen back in the projects that the students do:

 

  • The ubiquitousness of screens in our lives 
  • Big and public screens: issues of privacy, ownership, and bystander involvement 
  • Technology: extending the definition of screens to include smart materials, tangibles, etcetera 
  • Interaction concepts: Implicit interaction, persuasion, invitation, attention 
  • User experience and evaluation: flow, types of “fun”, techniques for evaluation 
  • Virtual Humans as an interaction metaphor: giving the screens an identity
