New technology-mediated ways of interfacing with information, products, and services are now the norm rather than the exception. Some new technologies change how we interface with or display information, others change how information is processed, and yet others change what information is available in a particular context. In each case, interaction designers must be flexible enough to adopt the affordances of emergent technologies rather than re-apply obsolete design patterns or ways of thinking. In this unit students will develop the critical and technological skills necessary to adapt their design practice to incorporate emerging technologies. Through a design project centred on an exemplary emerging technology, students will explore how new ways of interacting can be accounted for in their design practice.
