JAMedia Creation Ｅ (Design×Body・Environment)
Our surrounding environment is strongly influenced by technological progress. Putting aside the singularity, it even exerts its influence on our bodies. The key concept of this class is the evolution of computing and how it has changed the mechanisms of our communication. We will also get a general outline of different kinds of interaction design – in a broad sense – from engineering design to speculative design. We will also consider how our bodies and the environment will change due to the influence of two fields that can be considered different extremes of interaction design: bio-art and positive computing (well-being).
