Program Overview
Interaction and Game Design
Interaction design is about designing and designing interactive digital products, environments, systems and services and optimizing the experience for those who will use them.
Focus on the human-machine meeting and getting the most out of the technology
Interaction design is the key to every design project where the goal is to create something complex and computer-based that should also be as easy to use as possible. The interaction designer's mission is to focus on the meeting between man and machine. It can be about software, games, interactive products such as smart phones, MP3 players, "intelligent" homes, cars and clothes. With today's technology development, there are almost unlimited possibilities for this type of application.
