Course: Emerging Tech
Duration: 6 Weeks
Tools: 3D Audio, Projection Mapping, TouchDesigner, Ableton Live, After Effects, Video Editing Tools
Students will forecast home interfaces 10 years from now, designing forward-thinking interactions for a future living space. They will use Futures Thinking to anticipate new needs, integrate the Internet of Things, and develop working prototypes using advanced multimedia tools.w
Students will work in teams to produce a final immersive presentation showcasing their work. The presentation will take place in an immersive room with three-wall projections and an eight-channel spatial sound system. They will construct foam core models and physical surfaces for projection mapping to simulate home environments. Additionally, they will integrate triggers, buttons, and sensors to demonstrate interactive experiences within the simulated future home.
