Objective
After the course, the student can examine the interactions between humans and the physical environment, tools and processes, and can apply various methods that produce user understanding and knowledge.
Content
User orientation is the first core part of the design point of view: basically, we always design and develop things for others than ourselves. The study course introduces the meaning of empathy, curiosity and joint communication, based on design practices and design thinking.
Our main themes leading to user orientation are
- physical user, ergonomics and usability
- senses in the user experience
- emotions in the user experience - before and after
