Dear Students,

Here are 2 crucial details regarding your final milestones:

 

1. Mandatory Attendance: It is required for all group members to be present during the presentation of the final milestone in order to pass the project.

 

2. Member-wise Contributions: At the end of your final reports, please ensure that you include a section detailing the rough contributions of each group member. This should outline the specific tasks and responsibilities undertaken by each individual throughout the project. This transparency is important for the evaluation process.

Hello everyone,

Here are some notes regarding the questions we received about the final milestone:

Content of the Written Report:
Please use the Word/LaTeX templates provided on the CMS as a reference. All sections and subsections up to “Conclusions” are relevant, as well as the references. If you have additional content that doesn’t fit in any of the sections or would be too much for them, consider putting it in an appendix.

Point Distribution:
There is no specific point distribution between the prototype, written report, video, and poster submission. Instead, the entire project will be graded based on the criteria communicated during the first session of the lecture (see slides 18-20 in the organizational slides).

Poster Printing:
We can provide A3 poster printing. You will receive more details about this.

Video Presentation:
You are not required to be in the frame for the video, but you are allowed to if you wish. The video should showcase the required features, and it's up to you whether you want to be seen talking or stick to a voiceover. A combination of the two is also possible.


Best of luck,

Artin Saberpour

Dear Students,

This is an important reminder regarding the upcoming deadline for the 2nd milestone of your project. As stated on the organization slides, the correct deadline for the 2nd milestone is May 23rd.

Please note that there was an error on the CMS added earlier today, which incorrectly displayed the deadline as May 29th. This has been fixed later, and the correct deadline of May 23rd is now reflected on the CMS as well.

To avoid any confusion or missed deadlines, we ask all students to refer to the information provided on the organization slides for accurate details regarding deadlines and administrative matters.

Thank you for your attention and have wonderful submissions.

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
