This emphasizes the importance of what we see when we interact with the world around us, but the picture is incomplete. Other complementary sensory modalities, like tactile and auditory modalities, however, also play an important role in the interaction of people with products and systems. The aim of this elective is to focus on understanding and implementation of the tactile sensorial forms and how their subtleties impact the expressive qualities of designs. We translate these tactile aspects back into the visual world by digital and virtual (mixed reality) designs, supported with sound. The course invites experimentation both physically and digitally, to get a better understanding of the basics of different aspects of sensorial forms, such as materialization, proportions, dimensions, textures, integration, perception, familiarity, language and many more. To understand how to create an immersive experience, using sensorial forms. Acquiring the basic skills in sensorial form giving will be mediated through making and visualization.Deliverables
