DES638 Human Machine Interaction

This course explores how humans and machines can communicate, collaborate, and co- create through multisensory and intelligent systems. You will learn how to build and evaluate novel interfaces—from assistive tech to interactive art—by working hands-on with sensors, software, and creative tools. Think eye tracking, gesture interfaces, haptics, XR, musical interaction, AI-assisted tools—and how these can enable more meaningful, accessible, and expressive human experiences.

DES 634 Electronics for Designers

This course will introduce the basics of electronics that are essential for the designers to prototype their conceptualised products. Moreover, a prior knowledge of these basics will help and influence the designers to foresee the functionality and feasibility of the product during ideation phase of the design. This course is structured in such a way that the candidates will learn these basics by practice-based learning. The candidates will be walking through designing a product from the scratch that deals with electronics, mechanics, and software design. Though this course deals with engineering techniques, it is designed to cater candidates from engineering as well as non-engineering backgrounds. The candidates will get exposed to multiple hardware platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, NodeMCU (IoT module). The sessions will prepare the candidates for a clear understanding of the concept of sensors, signals, system, data, recording, processing, analysing, and inferencing. They will also get exposed to PCB design and rapid prototyping. At the end of the course, candidates will be prototyping their own product using their creativity and the skills learned from this course. The winning team will get an opportunity to work with any of the state-of-the-art trackers including eye-gaze tracker, hand-movement tracker, and full-body motion tracker.
