The following images are from a workshop with sophomore design students at The University of Texas at Austin. The objectives of the workshop, entitled, “New Methods in Human Computer Interaction” are two-fold. The first objective is to become familiar with, and obtain a working vocabulary of terms and existing methods used in human computer interaction design. The second objective is to devise and document new methods of human computer interaction design by using analog (physical, tangible) techniques to inform a digital design. My objective as an instructor is to facilitate an understanding of where the student’s design education can be applied in relation to fields where communicating user experience is part of the designer’s role, as it is in many cases. The focus is on an interaction played out - not on the form from within which the interaction takes place.
