IDEA9201: Experience Design Laboratory

2027 unit information

This unit of study explores the possibilities (and reflect on the limitations and implications) that an emerging technology brings when creating digital artefacts. Through individual and group exercises, both conceptual and practical, the unit introduces students to the basics of aesthetics, form, and expression of interaction to elicit meaningful experiences. It allows students to experiment with new tools, methods, and frameworks like physical and digital prototyping, design fiction and other speculative approaches to investigate and gain insights into how people could interact with emerging technologies. Ultimately, the technical skills and conceptual tools provided by this unit will enable students to understand how to design with and for that emerging technology and, therefore, how it could impact their own professional practice.

Learning outcomes

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:

LO1. Experiment with and integrate an emerging technology in the design process (conceptualisation and prototyping) of a digital artefact
LO2. Document and communicate the design process of a digital artefact following principles of user experience and research-through-design
LO3. Identify and reflectively apply principles of aesthetics, form, and expression of interaction in the design process
LO4. Create prototypes of speculative artefacts, applying critical and discursive design methods that effectively elicit critical reflection about human鈥搕echnology relations in the near future
LO5. Reflect on the impact that the usage of an emerging technology has on the design process in terms of creativity, efficiency, experience, and quality of the results
LO6. Critique prototypes and design arguments of peers using theoretical frameworks discussed in class to provide actionable feedback that advances critical inquiry of the cohort
