After successful completion of the course, students are able to finish an individual project where a prototypical application or an artifact is developed, which is driven by a user-centered design process. The result of this project is the artifact itself as well as the experiences students gain in a user-centered design process.Students enhance their knowledge on qualitative research methods to obtain design requirements and goals. They learn how to meet these requirements by designing a working computational artifact.
Recent advances in sensing, processing, and machine learning are expected to gradually transition our world into a new era where machines take initiative and proactively approach their users, while gradually fading into sensitive application areas with societal and ethical consequences. This development is propelled by new modalities of interaction, such as voice, virtual/augmented reality, emerging sensing opportunities introspecting users, and new capabilities of predicting user needs and intentions.
