At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. integrate an emerging technology in the design process (conceptualisation and prototyping) of a digital artefact.
- LO2. document and present the design process of a digital artefact following principles of user experience and research-through-design
- LO3. identify and reflectively apply principles of aesthetics, form, and expression of interaction in the design process
- LO4. conceptualise and prototype a design fiction that effectively elicits critical reflection about human—technology relations in the near future
- LO5. reflect on the impact that the usage of an emerging technology has on the design process in terms of creativity, efficiency, experience, and quality of the results
