34: Building Interactive Spaces
Monday, Full Day
8:30 am – 5:15 pm
Room 006AB
A survey of traditional and emerging technologies used
for design and construction of new forms of immersive
and interactive physical spaces for offices, homes, and
location-based entertainment. Basic concepts are explored
in four case studies and a participatory design exercise.
Prerequisites
No programming or specific mathematical background is
required. This course is appropriate for beginners and interactive-experience
professionals who want to review the latest technologies
and techniques. Environmental and interactive artists
are also encouraged to attend.
Topics
Definition and examples of interactive spaces; sensing
technologies (visual, auditory, and haptic); output technologies
(projectors, displays, speakers, lighting, and physical
actuators); design and evaluation of interfaces for interactive
physical spaces; architecture, control, and authoring
of experiences for interactive spaces; case studies (a
children’s bedroom, an office, a home environment,
and a theatrical stage).
