MF2116 Advanced Formgiving in haptics and tactility 3.0 credits

Exercises in morphology, design, haptility, tactility and sound take place initially every week.
Both quantity and quality are of great importance, as is the student's documentation of and reflection on the exercises.
After briefing, the students work individually during the week with the exercise that is completed by discussions it at seminars during the following the week. During the second part of the course, a smaller design project with a focus on shape is carried out, based on the earlier exercises.

After passing the course, the students should be able to:

1. create abstract shapes of high quality with respect to proportions, composition and expression with the application of haptility, tactility and sound.

2. by means of human computer interaction through haptility, tactility understand how one works with physical products to increase experience and communication, and approach the human aspect to counteract the negative aspects of an increasingly digitalised world.

15 higher education credits in industrial design and formgiving equivalent to the contents in the courses MF1061 Introduction to Design and Product realisation and MF1062 Design and Product Realisation together and MF2096 Advanced Formgiving.
