Course Description:
Course Description:
This course brings design thinking processes and tools to user experience design, with a focus on mobile/wearable technologies. This course covers the basic design thinking process, starting from user needfinding, insightful problem statement with point of views, ideation, prototype, and evaluation. This course is practical with a project studio (i.e., half-lecture & half-studio), in which students will apply techniques and methods learned in the class and use them to design+build+test a semester-long group project. As a relatively new & second-time course offering by the faculty, this course is experimental that the teaching staff may not figure out every detail yet. Students must be willling to learn together with the teaching staff. This course adapts teaching materials from the Stanford HCI course (with thanks to Prof. James Landay) and Stanford D.School.
