Fundamentals of Situated Interaction applies the principles of substrates, instrumental interaction and co-adaptation to the design of interactive systems.

Fundamentals of Situated Interaction is designed for advanced students in Human-Computer Interaction.
The course deconstructs the concept of interaction, and then uses the principles of Substrates, Instrumental Interaction and Co-Adaptation to generate innovative interactive systems.
