Teaching
NYU Interactive Telecommunication Program Adjunct Assistant Professor of Communications Networked Objects This course explores the possibilities and challenges of designing alternate physical network interfaces. In physical computing, students learn how to make devices that respond to a wide range of human physical actions. This class builds on that knowledge, covering methods for making interfaces talk to each other. Topics discussed will include: ubiquitous computing, designing for communication, data visualization, metaphor and symbolism in physical objects, and social networks through interactive objects. Assistive Technology Workshop This course is an advanced workshop to Developing Assistive Technology. Prior to entering the course, students have already identified a clinical need and client population and have an idea or project already in development. Students are expected to present this project description on the first day of class. Students work together with the class and the instructor to develop a production plan for their project. Class meetings will consist of critique and feedback sessions on individual and group projects. Students are expected to show their project multiple times during the semester, test the project in stages and collect data from their user testing, as well as develop appropriate research, documentation, and a literature review.
