Hey friends! Many people wanted an IxDF UX Course review, so here's one for you! I went through the first lesson from "Become a ux designer from scratch" course and compared it to the Google Foundations UX Course I took a few months ago. Interaction Design Foundation is quite popular, so I decided to look at their course next. And boy what did I find...

I looked at the platform itself and the UX of it, the UI examples, how is the course structured, how is the knowledge presented and so on.

Institute for Interactive Design Technology

Located on the two campuses of the Northern Valley Regional High School district, the Institute for Interactive Design is a free public high school of choice for Bergen County residents. This Career & Technical Education program introduces students to the exciting field of UX/UI Design. UX refers to User Experience Design, while UI refers to User Interface Design. This evolving multidisciplinary field underlies many of today’s fastest growing industries, including web-based communications, advertising, and entertainment. UX/UI design is driven by the imperative to design something that meets a user’s needs, and inspires consumers to want to engage with a digital product.

Great short video where Gillian Crampton Smith, director of Interaction Design Institute Ivrea, defines what exactly is meant by "interaction design". This is from an interview given for the (great!) book Designing Interactions (Moggridge, amzn.com/0262134748).

[ luminoux.com] The "Moving with Interactive Design" video of the Lightrail, in which Dutch dancer & Laban/Bartenieff movement analyst Roos van Berkel improvises while interacting with the behavior of the Lightrail.

-----------------------------
From April 09 till June 09 , three designers visited the University of California in San Diego to collaborate in a design project. Frank de Jong, Pakwing Man & Eric Toering worked with professor David Kirsh and students from the cognitive science department to develop an interactive installation based upon the work of world famous dance choreographer Wayne McGregor.

The result is a self made installation that focusses on experience instead of functionality. By using exclusive video material as input, the installation tries to show visitors the complexity of the dance piece by using an accessible interaction. People can use their whole body to touch the Lightrail and play with light that runs through the tubes.

The installation was placed in the Sadlers Wells theater in London (United Kingdom) from 13 to 17 October 09 during the world premiere of Wayne McGregors new dance piece. About 8000 people were present during this prestigious event.

Learning Three-dimensional Flow for Interactive Aerodynamic Design

We present a data-driven technique to instantly predict how fluid flows around various three-dimensional objects. Such simulation is useful for computational fabrication and engineering, but is usually computationally expensive since it requires solving the Navier-Stokes equation for many time steps. To accelerate the process, we propose a machine learning framework which predicts aerodynamic forces and velocity and pressure fields in return for a three-dimensional shape input. Handling detailed free-form three-dimensional shapes in a data-driven framework is challenging because machine learning approaches usually require a consistent parametrization of input and output. We present a novel PolyCube maps-based parametrization that can be computed for three-dimensional shapes at interactive rates. This allows us to efficiently learn the nonlinear response of the flow using a gaussian process regression. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach for interactive design and optimization of a car body.

In this movie, computer scientist Hiroshi Ishii explains why MIT Media Lab's shape-shifting table top is "equivalent to the invention of painting".

The table is made up of over 1,000 plastic rods attached to individual motors. When someone passes their hand over the table top, sensors detect the movement and cause the surface to ripple like a wave.

"Interactive Design Tools for the Maker Movement"

ABSTRACT
My group's research in Human-Computer Interaction focuses on design, prototyping and implementation tools for the era of ubiquitous embedded computing and digital fabrication. We focus especially on supporting the growing ranks of amateur designers and engineers in the Maker Movement. Over the past decade, a resurgence in interest how the artifacts in our world are designed, engineered and fabricated has led to new approaches for teaching art and engineering; new methods for creating artifacts for personal use; and new models for launching hardware products. The Maker Movement is enabled by a confluence of new technologies like digital fabrication and a sharing ethos built around online tutorials and open source design files. A crucial missing building block are appropriate design tools that enable Makers to translate their intent into appropriate machine instructions - whether code or 3D prints. Makers' expertise and work practices differ significantly from those of professional engineers - a reality that design tools have to reflect.

I will present research that enables Makers and designers to rapidly prototype, fabricate and program interactive products. Making headway in this area involves working in both hardware and software. Our group creates new physical fabrication hardware such as augmented power tools and custom CNC machines; new design software to make existing digital fabrication tools more useful; software platforms for the type of connected IoT devices many Makers are creating; and debugging tools for working at the intersection of hardware and software. We also create expertise sharing tools that lower the cost and increase the quality of online tutorials and videos through which knowledge is disseminated in this community. Our work on these tools is motivated by the daily experience of teaching and building in the Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation - a 24,000 sq ft space for 21st-century design education that opened in 2015. I will give an overview of institute activities and projects, and how they inform our research agenda.

BIO
Dr. Björn Hartmann is an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley. His research in Human-Computer Interaction focuses on novel design, prototyping, and implementation tools for the era of post-personal computing. His group investigates how better software and hardware can facilitate the exploration of interactive devices that leverage novel form factors and technologies (e.g., sensors and actuators). They also investigate how software can help students, designers, and makers to learn and share their expertise online. Methodologically, Hartmann's group predominantly focuses on systems research: they contribute complex, working interactive systems that embody our research ideas and enable us to test specific hypotheses. He is a Qualcomm Faculty Fellow and has received an NSF CAREER award, Sloan fellowship, and Okawa research award.

Hartmann is the Faculty Director of the Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation, a new undergraduate teaching institute focused on hands-on, human-centered design. Previously, he co-founded the CITRIS Invention Lab, a lab equipped with many digital fabrication and rapid prototyping tools. The lab serves as inspiration and testbed for many research projects. He is also involved in the Berkeley Institute of Design and the Swarm Lab. He received his PhD from the Stanford Computer Science department in 2009, and received an MSE in Computer and Information Science as well as Undergraduate Degrees in Digital Media Design and Communication from the University of Pennsylvania in 2002.
