Interaction design based on mobile platforms is becoming a "hotspot" amongst artist, educators, and the commercial world. While the mobile experience can certainly make our lives easier, the complexity of the interface and operation could easily confuse its audience.
The creation of a simple and pleasant user experience involves a wide range of knowledge from visual communication, industrial design, to programming, human engineering and even medicine. The interface is not only a decoration or visual effect, but a measure of interaction and communication based on users' emotion and experience.
Through systematic and theory-based research on interactive design, Project Echo project focuses on interaction between traveler and Beijing's landmarks, through which history, society and culture will be observed and discussed.
Representative from Apple Hong Kong will also be available to answer questions on a variety of developer programs available to students and faculty.
