We wish to reiterate the importance of your participation in this process to ensure that your preferences are taken into account during the allocation process. As mentioned previously, due to limitations with the CMS, we are unable to accommodate the selection of preferred group members for tutorial sessions through its internal algorithm. Therefore, your input via the Google Form is crucial for ensuring a working allocation. https://forms.gle/v18cixtfvXa9Dxy66 Important Notes:
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Best, Artin |

Therefore, we have devised an alternative approach to ensure that your preferences are taken into account. We kindly request your participation in submitting your preferences for all the tutorial sessions via the following Google Form no later than Saturday April 20th, 23:59': https://forms.gle/v18cixtfvXa9Dxy66 Your input will assist us in allocating tutorial sessions in alignment with your preferences. Please take note of the following important instructions:
Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated, and it will contribute to a smoother tutorial session allocation process. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Best regards, |
Interactive Systems
The first class starts on Thursday April 18 2024, 14:15-16:00 (Building E1 3 – Lecture Hall 2).
Registration Deadline for Course & Tutorials: Saturday, April 20 2024 (23:59)
Note: We will upload videos from the last online iteration of this lecture. These will serve as additional learning material.
Nevertheless, only the content of the on-site lecture is relevant for the exam. The online videos may differ from this.
Registration
It is mandatory for all participants to register (in CMS) before or on Saturday, April 20 2024 (23:59).
- Students of Media informatics B.Sc.: no restriction. Note that this lecture replaces Ubiquitous Media; i.e., you cannot attend this lecture if you have previously completed Ubiquitous Media.
- Students of Media informatics M.Sc.: you can enroll in this class if you have not taken it as part of your B.Sc. (either because you have been at another university, or you were enrolled in a BSc program other than Media Informatics). If you have taken the course “Ubiquitous Media Design” previously, then you cannot take this course.
- Students of Computer science: from summer term 2020, the lecture counts as an Advanced Lecture for Bachelor/Master Computer Science, Embedded Systems and Entrep. Cypersecurity. Please refer to LSF for details on the curriculae, and version of exam.
- Students of other curricula where Interactive Systems is part of your Module Handbook (e.g. Educational Technology) and you have not taken Ubiquitous Media: You can just register for the lecture.
- Students of other curricula where Interactive Systems is not part of your Module Handbook: Decision on a case-by-case basis. Please contact Artin Saberpour for further information.
Important: Later in the semester, you have to register for the exam on HISPOS.
Note on transfer of credit from previous semesters:
- “I have successfully completed the exercises and projects of IAS in summer term 23, but have not passed the final exam. Can I just write the exam?”
Yes you can transfer your exercises and projects from IAS in summer term 23 to IAS in summer term 24, so you do not have to hand in exercises and project assignments a second time. Please contact Artin Saberpour before April 20 2024 (23:59). - You cannot transfer partial grades from previous IAS lectures.
Description
This course introduces technical concepts, software paradigms and hardware technologies of modern interactive systems. Their application is illustrated using seminal and recent examples from graphical user interfaces, mobile interfaces, ubiquitous computing (internet of things), augmented reality, and physical interfaces.
Technologies:
- Device technology, basic electronics, microcontrollers
- Sensors, displays, and actuators
- Touch input
- Capturing physical context
- Physical prototyping and digital fabrication
Applications in:
- Mobile interfaces
- Ubiquitous computing (Internet of Things)
- Tangible interfaces
- Augmented and virtual reality
- Wearable and embodied interfaces
- Interactive robotics
Literature
The lecture will be partly based on the following books:
- Rogers, Y. et al.: Interaction Design: Beyond Human-Computer Interaction, Wiley, 2011
- Butz, A., Krüger, A.: Mensch-Maschine-Interaktion, De Gruyter, 2014
- Krumm, J.: Ubiquitous Computing Fundamentals, Chipman and Hall, 2009
