COM 430 Physical Computing

A studio/performance oriented course. Physical Computing is an approach to learning how humans communicate through computers that starts by considering how we express ourselves physically. This course explores the nature of transduction, the usage of microcontrollers and their communication with other computers, studying advances in human-computer interfaces and digital art. It requires a hands on approach to writing code, soldering, building circuits and controls to figure out how best to make all of these components relate to a person's expression.
