Aims and Fit of Module

This module advances students’ understanding of HCI, spatial computing, and multimodal interaction. Students design complex systems integrating sensors, body-tracking, and generative media to create sophisticated interactive environments and performances.

Learning outcomes

A Critically evaluate advanced HCI methods and spatial interface design.
B Integrate multiple sensing modalities within real-time audiovisual systems.
C Develop a technically robust interactive environment or performance.
D Communicate and justify conceptual and technical decisions in their work.

Method of teaching and learning

Teaching includes Lectures, Advanced Workshops, Studio Practice, and Critique Tutorials.
• Lectures address advanced HCI frameworks, spatial interaction, and embodied systems.
• Advanced Workshops cover body-tracking, multimodal sensing, and system integration.
• Studio Practice emphasizes iterative prototyping, spatial testing, and performance design.
• Critique Tutorials allow detailed feedback on creative and technical development.
In that this is an optional module, to well utilise the university resource, the module delivery is subject to meeting a minimum number of students (10).
