Course Content
The Digital Design course covers all applications of Information and Communication Technology design: interactive products, responsive environments, mobile services, Internet of Things systems, within a multidisciplinary approach that includes lessons on design by experience and lessons on usability and accessibility in particular of the User Interface (UI).
Further information
The course offers insights into digital technologies and the most innovative areas in which they are evolving today.
In particular the theoretical lessons will be useful to define the current level of development of interactive and related products, reactive environments, tangible and multimodal interfaces, personal artifacts, and to trace possible margins for innovation.
