Course Objective Interaction design can be considered as an extension of the long-established fields of architectural, industrial, and graphical design. Regardless what types of the recent emerging field of interaction design such as UI, UX, responsive website, tangible interaction design, or smart environment, the image remains as the visual language for design ideation to realization. This course introduces the concept of digital pipeline which is mediated on wide range of image related digital technologies. Through those modularized technologies, we can form a working pipeline to create a prototype for an interaction design proposal.

Course Schedule 1. Design & Visual Language 2. Modeling Geometries 3. Vector Graphics & Graphic Design 4. Tangible Interaction Design 5. Natural User Interface 6. Digital Fabrication (Laser Cutting) 7. Digital Fabrication (Laser Cutting) 8. Digital Fabrication (3D Printing) 9. Digital Fabrication (3D Printing) 10. Raster Images & Photorealistic Rendering 11. UI Wireframe 12. iOS SwiftUI I 13. iOS SwiftUI II 14. iOS SwiftUI III 15. iOS SwiftUI IV 16. Desk Critique 17. Desk Critique 18. Show & Tell
