Recommended prerequisite for participation in
the module
The module adds to the knowledge obtained in the 1st semester.
Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
Objectives:
Explore the chosen specialisation from a formal perspective with
a focus on exploring the relationships between real and
artificially generated stimuli. Develop and evaluate an application
in the chosen specialisation investigating this issue in terms of
either: 1) emulating reality, 2) enhancing reality or virtuality,
or 3) transforming reality into novel forms of expression and
aesthetics.
Learning objectives
Knowledge
Students who complete the module will obtain the following
qualifications:
- Must be able to understand, describe and
distinguish between core elements in sensor technology and mapping
of information
- Must be able to understand parameters for
technology mediated interaction and interactions in public social
environments
- Must be able to understand fundamentals of
embodied interaction and physical interface design
Skills
Students who complete the module will obtain the following
qualifications:
- Must be able to analyse and compare the state
of the art in tangible and embodied interaction
- Must be able to apply scientific methods for
assessing the quality of their solution
- Must be able to apply knowledge to the design
and implement spatial interactive installations and embodied and/or
interactive artifacts
- Must be able to synthesize state of the art
sensor technologies
- Must be able to evaluate the feasibility of
their solution in terms of cost/benefit and social impact
- Produce a project report according to norms of the area, take
into consideration relevant literature, apply correct terminology
and convey the research-based foundation, problem and results of
the project orally and in writing in a coherent manner, including
the relationship between the problem formulation, the project’s
realization and its conclusions
- Evaluate and select relevant literature, scientific methods and
models and other tools for application in the project work, and
evaluate the project’s problem area in a relevant scientific
context
Competences
Students who complete the module will obtain the following
qualifications:
- Must be able to compare, select and analyse
relevant sensor technologies
- Must be able to evaluate and apply signal
processing methods
- Must be able to synthesize knowledge in
various forms of scientific documentation
- Must be able to evaluate ethical consideration
of applying advanced sensor technologies
- Plan, execute and manage complex research and/or development
tasks, and assume a professional responsibility for carrying out,
potentially cross-disciplinary, collaborations
- Assume responsibility for own scientific development and
specialization
Type of instruction
Academically supervised student-governed problem oriented
project work.
