Students will design, produce and critically appraise work.

COURSE DETAILS:

An investigation of interactivity explored through media, in the context of current display technologies relevant to Interactive Arts and Design. Examines the computational and compositional structures related to image, sound and video, in the context of interactivity. Students explore real-time interaction and representation within a range of display scales ranging from cell phone and tablet to larger scale displays. Students will design, produce and critically appraise works within responsive interactive environments. Project context could vary from mobile locative media to immersive VR spaces.

Registrar Notes:

SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating.  Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community.  Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
