Building upon prior thesis-related courses (the first-year Thesis Preparation and the first-semester, second-year Thesis Development), this course is designed to guide students from a researched and defined concept to more detailed definition, prototyping, market/business review, creation of materials, and live public presentation.
The end-products of the course will be professional-quality, portfolio-level work.
COURSE GOALS
To fully exercise and manifest understanding acquired through the depth and breadth of the Interaction Design program via continued development and maturation of a masters thesis project.
To develop a clear and coherent understanding of a design concept, including its rationale, market differentiation, and implementation path.
To embody understanding of interaction design in artifacts that efficiently and effectively convey the rational and emotional experience of the thesis concept as expressed in a prototype/demonstration.
