Advanced Interactive Systems: Spatial Media

Module Title Advanced Interactive Systems: Spatial Media
Module Level Level 2
Module Credits 5
Academic Year 2026/27
Semester SEM2

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).
