Part of Experience Prototyping Fall 2011

Camille Moussette (UID)

This 5 day workshop will explore the world of haptic and probe various ways that designers can work with interfaces that actively engage with our sense of touch. The workshop will be very hands-on as we will sketch various haptic ideas right from the start. Students will use various prototyping tools, mediums and approaches to gradually refine their sensitivity to the topic.
