51-748 Cardboard Modeling I: Exploring expressive form & interaction

6 units, Carnegie Mellon University

State-of-the-art interactive products can be regarded as having three properties: form, interaction, and function but often they are not designed as a whole. Reacting to this, the course aims to teach students how explore, design and prototype a new type of interactive products by means of cardboard modeling techniques. The students will learn the techniques and skills under guidance and will then proceed by making an original design of an interactive product, deploying the newly learned techniques, concurrently designing form, interaction, and function. This course is open to Design juniors, seniors and grads ? others by permission of the instructor. Materials and tools need to be acquired in advance, a list will be provided.
