Informatics 282: Design and Prototyping integrates principles of design process with an introduction to time-based media and the methods used to design new interfaces, environments, services, and products that focus on the orchestration of user experience. You will be exposed to the characteristics of new design opportunities made feasible by digital technologies and the pivotal role of time and attention in contemporary design. Through lectures, analysis of a wide range of examples in communication, interaction, and experience design, and through studio-based assignments that provide opportunities for practical application and insight, you will be introduced to basic concepts, methods, tools and techniques used in the assessment, definition, and design of interactive experiences.
Informatics 282: Design and Prototyping is a course in the Master of Human Computer Interaction and Design program at the University of California, Irvine.
