Physical interaction design and realization
The course is organized around whole days, working studio-like in project groups.
News
- Please evaluate the course!
- please send your blog address to cristi ASAP! See blog instructions.
- if you make your blog at blogspot, please leave it accessible to anybody (but keep its address secret) otherwise it can't be read with RSS.
- there is a comprehensive description of the course materials. Please keep the order!
- whenever you need to keep an expensive item out of its box (to work home or as part of a prototype) you must book it!
Project and marks
Students will make a small prototype and a larger project in groups of 3-4 people. Ideally the project will be based on the prototype. The project will be presented publicly during the last afternoon. Marks will be set per project, and this will be combined with an individual marking form (a self-reflective journal).
Visit our common blog!

All activities will take place on CID Torget, Lindstedtvägen 5, plan 6, KTH, Stockholm
More guest lectures might appear, watch the course news above!
