Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for participation in the module

Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Real-time Interfaces and Interactions is a course module offering the students opportunities to investigate several technologies from different modalities that are commonly associated with creation of an integrated multimodal system. The course is built upon the previous five semesters to augment foundational knowledge, skills and competences needed to achieve integration of technologies and evaluation methods.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

Students who complete the module will obtain the following qualifications:

• Understanding of input/output technologies for multimodal interfaces
• Knowledge of the state-of-the-art in the field of alternative input and output devices (application)
• Understanding of visualization techniques for multimodal interfaces (application)
• Understanding of audio design methods to the development of a 3D sound system (application)
• Understanding of haptic interfaces
• Ability to interface input and output devices (application)
• Understanding of real-time system adaptiveness
• Understanding of iterative design processes
• Understanding of measurement and analysis of physiological data
• Understanding of applied interactive systems information communication e.g. semiotics, non-verbal behavior and affordances

Skills

Students who complete the module will obtain the following qualifications:

• Ability to scientifically analyse and argue with theoretical and methodological justification to demonstrate understanding of related research/work
• Ability to synthesize an interface component to log feedforward/feedback data from interactions for data analysis
• Ability to apply biofeedback measurements to refine design of a media product
• Ability to synthesize and apply contextual understanding and knowledge related to human factors to the design of novel interfaces
• Ability to apply theories, techniques and methods to design and implement systems which adapt in real-time to human needs and level of expertise

Competences

Students who complete the module will obtain the following qualifications:

• Ability to synthesize knowledge and understanding regarding previous research and current trends concerning interactive media systems
• Ability to apply such knowledge, understanding and skills toward creation of a real-time interface and interactive media system
