1. Interactive Materials tangible interaction design at ASU spring 2016 Stacey Kuznetsov kstace@asu.edu TA: Piyum Fernando piyum.fernando@asu.edu

2. 2 minute brainstorm find a buddy think of as many uses for a pen other than writing one idea per post-it

3. 2 minute brainstorm how many uses did you come up with? most boring? most interesting?

15. What is design?

16. imagining the future What is design?

17. design materially-oriented movement between our understanding of the present and new insights about the future

18. design materially-oriented movement between our understanding of the present and new insights about the future

19. materials are important give physical form to our ideas see our ideas in context give us a tangible way to explore, experiment with, and think about possible futures

20. tangible interaction systems that are physically embodied in the real world computationally-mediated interfaces between people, things, and environments

22. course goals learn how to embed interactive behavior into artifacts and environments learn the fundamentals of the interaction design process create physical prototypes that explore possible futures learn how to document and present your work

23. what we will do tinker and experiment with materials Electronics Textiles Paper Food Plants Paint Water Air Human body Etc… make cool stuff make mistakes

24. what we will do make quick prototypes read and discuss relevant HCI (human computer interaction) and design literature apply interaction design methods to ideating and developing a final project

25. course outline basic prototyping techniques –learn electronics/programming concepts –document exercises on the blog (due each week) interaction design methods and final project –ideate, design, and develop final project –blogpost/project update due each week reading assignment due each week –sign up to present a paper!

26. Basic prototyping exercises soft switch Arduino switch handcrafting analog sensors transistors and thermochromic paint sensing organic materials I2C sensors (UV, color, or temperatures)

27. Interaction design methods user observation and needfinding contextual design brainstorming storyboarding prototyping evaluation final presentation

28. Final project Themed around heat

31. Large US cities where the temperature most often climbs to 100 °F (37.8 °C) or higher NOAA's 1981-2010 Climate Normals, http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/normals/usnormals.html

33. Final project measuring—citizen science tools for monitoring UV or heat exposure. creatively visualizing—artistic expressions of heat sustainably utilizing—systems that harness solar or heat energy. coping—helping people live in extremely hot climates

34. grading weekly assignments and blogposts (48%) paper presentation (6%) final project (30%) attendance / in class participation (6%)

35. weekly exercises each exercise is worth 4 points and 4% of your final grade! blogposts/videos due 11.59pm on deadline day late policy: –loose 1point for each late day –4 days late = no credit!

36. paper presentation 1-2 readings due each week sign up to present 1 paper to the class presentation is worth 6% of your final grade

37. how to present class readings Summary (5-7 minutes) –question, problem, or opportunity area being addressed –concepts, vocabulary, special terms –projects, techniques, or methods –big take-aways Discussion (5-7 minutes) –2-3 discussion questions for the class –connections to other sources, projects classwork, or earlier class discussions

38. attendance policy class participation is worth 6% of your final grade you are required to attend every class sign attendance sheet beginning of every class! email kstace@asu.edu and piyum.fernando@asu.edu if you have to miss a class loose 3 points (50%) of your attendance grade for each unexcused absence

39. blog http://interactivematerials.wordpress.com/

40. Due by next class Sign up for wordpress and email me (kstace@asu.edu) your username to be added to the blog. Create a new post to introduce yourself. Include: –your name –your prior experience with tangible interaction/hands on making –why you are taking this class and what do you hope to get out of it? –a link to a tangible interaction project and a one- sentence summary of what it is Reading due Wednesday!
