Course — IxP1: Intro to Prototyping Studio, Interaction Design, Immersion Lab, ArtCenter College of Design, Pasadena, CA, 2024
Redesigned our first term introduction to prototyping course, IxP1 introduced students to designing interactions through code. Drawing parallels between visual design and programming, the studio taught students the foundations of design and human-computer communication to create a visual system of words, letters, figures, shapes, or other symbols that convey meaning to both humans and machines. In this course, students learned to design through iterative prototyping to develop their skills in creating live, time-based interfaces. The studio presented a series of programming languages and tools (p5.js, Protopie, and Unity). Students designed a series of actions and graphical control systems.
