This course teaches how to create interfaces with rich physical properties through digital fabrication. The learning outcomes include understanding the importance of materials and shape, creating interactive materials in a lab setting, exploring new user interfaces enabled by interactive materials, and designing interactive materials. The course covers skills such as creating custom display materials, integrating displays into materials, 3D printing interactive materials, conductive inkjet printing for faster fabrication, developing interactive and electronic skin, and designing tactile interfaces like Tacttoo. The teaching method involves lectures, demonstrations, and practical exercises. The intended audience for this course includes designers, engineers, makers, and anyone interested in exploring the intersection of materials, fabrication, and interactive interfaces.
