Matthew Wizinsky, James HovellIn this studio, Urban Technology students synthesize their studies of cities and digital technologies to focus on interaction design related to urban services. The first half of the course introduces exercises to develop core competencies in visual communication and User-Experience and User-Interface (UX/UI) principles for the designing digital interfaces and dynamic information spaces. Students then apply these skills to an interaction design challenge.
The final project brief is to research, design, and prototype an interaction design intervention to increase accessibility &/or usability for a public service, space, or activity. Students begin with exploratory research to discover and define opportunities for improved access. Through generative methods and prototyping, they develop interaction design proposals which are evaluated through user testing methods.
