COURSE DESCRIPTION
Designing products that stand out in a crowded marketplace requires a combination of human-centred and technology-driven approaches that solve real problems. Led by subject-matter experts, this Melbourne MicroCert features a one-day industry-led workshop that explores new advances in emerging interactive technologies, such as VR, AR, and AI. Throughout this course, you’ll be empowered with the tools and capabilities to create exciting user-friendly products that merge new technologies with hands-on making and design-thinking activities. Ideal for technology developers, UI/UX designers, game developers and product managers, this highly practical micro-credential is delivered in collaboration with international design consultancy MAKE studios and is essential for anyone interested in design principles. Explore human-centred and tech-driven design: Examine inquiry-led human-centred design processes and compare these to invention-led technology-oriented perspectives. Learn to adapt your process to incorporate both approaches and push your ideas into adventurous spaces. Gain practical experience with emerging technologies: Take part in a one-day immersive workshop at our Interactive Technologies Lab. You’ll explore, design, and develop new and innovative products using emerging interactive technologies, including eye-tracking VR, AR, and AI. Progress your ideas: During ideation sessions, explore methods for driving ideas into unchartered territory enabled by emerging technologies. Understand how to elicit valuable customer feedback during user experience research. Harness and apply prototyping techniques: Apply techniques for prototyping experiences beyond screens. Gain strategies to help stakeholders envision future applications of emerging technologies. Develop an original interactive design: Understand how to harness emerging technologies to design original interactive products that feature exceptional user experience. Use your new knowledge to conceptualise and submit a design for a novel interactive system that enables users to engage with digital applications in a meaningful way.
Skills and learning outcomes: By the end of this course, you’ll have a deeper understanding of how a design approach that considers humans and technology can help you create interactive products that significantly enhance user experience. You’ll be able to: Adapt human-centred design processes to incorporate technology-oriented perspectives; Apply prototyping techniques to help stakeholders envision future applications of emerging technologies.
