In this course, students will experiment with interfaces that engage with human emotions. Leveraging techniques in machine learning, physical computing, haptic media, bio-sensing, sound, gestural interfaces and facial recognition, students will create experimental emotionally-aware technologies. In doing so, students will challenge the ways that emotion and affect are construed and captured by dominant platforms. This is a project-based course in which students will explore novel modes of expression collaboratively and through individual projects.
