PURPOSE
The purpose of the project module is to introduce interaction
design and create a foundation for the formation of identity as an
interaction designer. Emphasis is placed on working with the
interactive conditions (computer science) and design conditions
(industrial design) of a concrete interactive product, where the
focus is on interaction and design, partly as separate properties
of the product, but also with a focus on the interaction between
these two properties. In the project module, emphasis is placed on
a descriptive and explanatory approach, where the interactive
product is described and explained in relation to its interaction
design. Each project group must choose a specific interactive
product based on the project presentation on the module. Emphasis
is also placed on the students being able to motivate and explain
their choice of product as an example of an interaction design.
