DM 3143 Interaction Design Studio 2

3 Credits
On-screen computer interfaces are well established. Anyone who has used a computer in the past twenty years knows how to navigate WIMP (Windows, Icons, Menus, Pointer). This course looks at the foundations of WIMP. Building upon this well-developed model, the course focuses on usability, user- testing and user-centered design. The course explores interfaces that move beyond established metaphors to provide new ways of interacting with the computer screen and starts with small assignments to illustrate concepts. The last half of the semester is spent developing a group project.

Prerequisite(s): DM 2143 .
