2025 Advanced Design of Interactive Systems
Janin Koch, Inria Lille
Xiaohan Peng, Université Paris-Saclay
Advanced Design of Interactive Systems builds upon the Introductory Design course, but emphasizes on how to design interactive systems to support human-AI interaction.
About
The Intro DOIT course is a prerequisite for the Advanced DOIT course. The former values speed and effective collaboration, while providing a quick overview of a complete set of interaction design methods. The latter builds upon the techniques in the introductory course, but explores in more depth human interaction as well as how to support interaction with intelligent systems.
Grading is based on your ability to identify key design problems from the user's perspective when interacting with generative systems, such as ChatGPT or DallE, and your creativity in generating a solution inspired by design principles, especially co-adaptation and instrumental interaction.
The class will be divided into groups of three or four. You will be asked to create a novel interactive system that is designed to support an extreme user of generative AI applications to provide more means for control and expression.
As in the Intro DOIT course, you will be asked to find out as much as you can about the problems users currently face, and then design and video prototype an original solution that addresses their needs. You will also revise it based on the results of a generative walkthrough.
