Introduction
The curriculum is structured to cover the end-toend process of a research and development product
cycle modifications or new applications to their
existing human-to-machine technology.
The main goal of the project is not focused on
particular algorithmic techniques or computer
technologies but on developing a broad set of skills
needed for user-centered design.

Teams


Teams starts to be defined today and
should be clearly identified by end of
March
Teams composition


2/3 computer scientists
2/3 students from industrial design
Every team should have team leader, who
is in charge of coordinating the others and
possibly be present at each office hours
(independently of the specific professors)

Topics


During the course, some general themes
will be introduced
Starting from the theme, a team should
develop a project idea and realize it
Industrial design students will be mainly in
charge of the phase theme  concrete project
idea (with mock-ups of the
interfaces/interactions)
 Computer scientists will be mainly in charge of
the phase concrete project idea  running
system to be demonstrated during the exam

The final project must be presented in one of the
scheduled project discussion date
There will be one discussion date for each exam
session
Students are expected to check the project
discussion date on the course website
It is mandatory to notify the tutor (i.e., Valeria
Mirabella) by email about the date in which you
intend to discuss the project

Final discussion (2)



The project discussion consists of
 a brief presentation of the work done (ppt file)
 the final written report (doc/pdf file)
 the running prototype
Project documentation and a virtual machine with
all the running prototype and demonstration
should be delivered on a cd/dvd + pen drive (for
copying, it will be given back to you )
Each team should plan to talk for approximately
30 minutes, and each student should present at
least a few slides (each one should “speak”)
