The course is an advanced project course, where the students carry out a smaller research study in close cooperation with researchers in the field of interactive media technology. By participating in the research current issues in the research domain are concerned which work as preparation for the degree project. All projects have a strongly technical nature with a deepening within the student's specialisation in the Master's programme but offer at the same time further profiles towards for example design, development or evaluation in a specific application field. The projects are carried out usually in groups of 2-3 students but there can also be other set-ups depending on the extent and nature of the project. The course is examined through project work and a research article that summarises issues, methods and results. The article is presented at the end of the course for researchers and other students in a student conference. In addition to this the project will be documented and be reported continuously to the involved researchers as well as for other students.
