Courses

At this point there is only one course (summer term 2020 at LMU) ... but we hope for more in the future.

Please go to the course page for details, timeline, and requirements:

  • LMU SKWH 2020 - LMU Sketching with Hardware, Summer Term 2020
  • there is also a gallery with results from the last course: Gallery 2020

Foreword and Introduction to Sketching With Hardware

The course is part of our question of how to create functional prototypes for exploring interactive systems. There are some introductory slides ( pptx, pdf) that are shown in the introductory video (https://youtu.be/Irxo9b5cexs).

In the article "Understanding and researching through making: a plea for functional prototypes" (in the ACM DL , as PDF) we discuss three different approaches to create prototypes. In this course, we focusing custom hardware development for research and development in human-computer interaction.

Learning Goals

The overall learning goal is the equip students with skills to Envision a new interactive physical object and implement it a functional prototype, this includes:

  • understand why sketching with hardware is relevant
  • understand the challenges in creating function prototypes
  • being able to create basic hardware sketches
  • being able to program and debug MicroPython on ESP32/ESP8266
  • being able to build basic circuits connected to the microcontroller, including
