Interactive Systems

Dear students,

We uploaded the requirements for your milestone 2 report in the materials. We also updated the deadline for its submission as well as the prototype presentation in the tutorials:

• Milestone 2 Report: 23:59, 14.06.2026
• Prototype Presentations: In the week from 15.06.2026 to 19.06.2026 in your respective tutorial.
• The final project bazaar on 13.07.2026 won't and cannot be shifted.

We had to shift both because of the extended deadline of milestone 1 and a public holiday in the originally planned prototype presentation week.

The additional hardware is currently assigned to each group and missing hardware will be ordered. We will distribute the additional hardware as soon as possible.

There won't be any lectures the next two weeks, but there will be tutorials. We recommend you to join them since the tutors will tell you about HCI concepts needed for the milestone 2 report.

Dear students,

In this week's tutorial, you will discuss the sample solutions to the first exercise sheet (which you must submit today by 23:59). Since we have another public holiday on Thursday, you can also join other tutorials if your regular tutorial is affected. If you cannot join another tutorial, you can still discuss the sample solution in the tutorial next week.

We are currently evaluating your Milestone 1 submissions and are trying to equip you with the additional hardware as soon as possible. More information about that and the Milestone 2 requirements will follow this week. We still recommend that you start working with your already available hardware as soon as possible.

Dear students,

Since there are still some questions about the project ideas and the group forming, we extend both deadlines to Friday (08.05.2025, 23:59). Please use the additional tutorial this week to get feedback on your ideas by the tutors.

If you are not yet in a group with other students here in the CMS, please contact us immediately, so we can find a group for you. The projects must be done in groups.

Reminder: As noted in the lecture plan, there is no lecture on Monday, so you can use the time for the project idea.

Consider using the forum for questions. This way, all other students can benefit as well. 

Dear students,

please create or update your groups here in the CMS, so they include all the group members. This is important for the submissions, so we can assign the points from the milestones.

Moreover, the first exercise sheet will be published at 4pm today and can then be found in the materials section. You can also find a template for submitting your solution. You have two weeks to submit the solution as a group (the same group you're doing the project with).

Dear students,

please update your preferences for the tutorials until Saturday night, we added two new tutorials. For the distribution of the tutorials, it would help us a lot, thanks! 

IMPORTANT: The attendance in the first tutorial next week is mandatory! If you are not attending unexcused, you will be excluded from the lecture. This is necessary for forming the project groups. If you are transferring your projects and exercises from last year's iteration, you don't have to attend the tutorials. In cases of emergency or sickness, inform the assistants and the tutor asap that you can't attend the first tutorial.

 

 

Dear Students,

Please note the following procedure for transferring projects and exercises from the previous year:

Note on transfer of credit from previous semester:

• “I have successfully completed the exercises and projects of IAS in summer term 25, 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 25 to IAS in summer term 26, so you do not have to hand in exercises and project assignments a second time. Please contact Gian-Luca Kiefer with your name and matriculation number before April 18 2025 (23:59).
• You cannot transfer partial grades from previous IAS lectures.
