Interaction Design, Master's Programme (Two-Year)

The foundation for the course consists of key concepts for understanding the spaces of game and ludic interaction. Moreover, the foundation contains key concepts for designing play activities, such as game mechanics and the play-centric approach. More advanced topics including experimental gameplay, critical games, serious games, art games and urban play will be addressed, depending on the choice of project direction. We aim to draw upon our strengths in the area of physical computing and tangible interaction, though there will be opportunities to explore different game forms and develop new genres.
On the level of design methodology, students will create playful interventions that engage the body and senses, as well as the spatial and social contexts of play, through design experiments that include lo-and hi-fi prototyping as well as playtesting. Depending on the nature of the intervention, techniques such as design improvisation and physical prototyping will be included.
