| Course Objectives: | This course focuses on ubiquitous and mobile computing systems through a design oriented view. Students are expected to embrace user centered design approaches to the functions and development processes of ubicomp systems. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; -Understand and reflect on the theory and philosophy of ubiquitous computing -Discuss and criticize interaction designs and interfaces in the area of ubiquitous computing -Present and document a design work through both oral, written and visual presentations -Reflect upon the effects of a society where computational technology permeates every aspect of our lives |
| Ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) became a subject of interaction design as the costs for data processing and transferring decreases. The locus of interaction moved from the person sitting at a desk in front of a PC to the person acting through a world suffused with devices and information. The course emphasizes on design methods, user experience, and impact on society and everyday life in general of implementing the ubiquitous computing vision. The military applications of ubicomp are outside the scope. The learning process consists of lectures, literature seminars and presentations by students, individual and group projects. Students can participate through tele-conferencing / e-learning system to the lectures and presentations. Individual and group projects would be held through online collaborative applications and learning management systems. |
