BSc Interactive Product Design

Comments about BSc Interactive Product Design - At the institution - London - Greater London

• Objectives
  In the face of social and technological change, there is a demand for a new type of designer, one that can respond to new developments both from a human and an information-based perspective. An interactive product designer is concerned with creating or initiating changes to digital artefacts or systems and will be shaping the future of the knowledge-based economy. Interactive products can vary from three-dimensional objects with a high technology content to two dimensional interfaces on an existing PC. A mobile phone, a multimedia kiosk for an exhibition or a website design might all be considered valid design projects. You could find yourself designing an interface for a new VR computer game or, alternatively, developing an important medical product. To meet these challenges, designers will require a blend of skills encompassing creativity, an ability to communicate and an awareness of human factors besides understanding computer technology and graphics.
