| Course Objectives: | The aim of this class is to guide the students in designing and developing a human-centered playful experience. During the semester, the student will have the opportunity to establish a concept and evolve it into a finished interactive product using game technologies. Interaction design, game design and architectural design principles will be harmoniously used as a foundation to flourish creativity. The student is expected to finalize the course with a playable, playful, immersive experience with innovative mechanics built on the experience of the body. This end product may be intended for the game industry, as well as the art scene or it may serve businesses, depending on the student’s interests. |
