Prof. Ranjan Bose, who is the Director of IIIT-Delhi, explained the program's main goal. He stated that the course will teach students practical skills to design digital products that are simple and enjoyable to use. Students will learn to solve difficult design problems by doing user research, using interaction design rules, and checking how well their designs work. This will make them ready for jobs and help them create new ideas in the industry.
Dr. Pragma Kar and Dr. Richa Gupta, both Assistant Professors at IIIT-Delhi and directors for this program, talked about why this course is important. Dr. Kar explained that Interaction Design and User Experience (UX) are crucial parts of how humans use computers. These fields shape almost every part of our modern lives. The program will combine basic design ideas, how humans think and behave, and different ways people interact with technology. It will also cover exciting new topics.
Students will study advanced areas like:
- Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)
- Tangible Interfaces (ways to interact with computers using physical objects)
- Wearable Technology (like smartwatches)
- How Generative AI (Artificial Intelligence that creates content) is used in design.
This mix of design thinking and new technology will give students skills that are valuable to employers.
