It is recognized that design thinking and the application of related Interaction Design (ID) methods can significantly contribute to successful applications with respect to UX.<\/p>\n The 1st<\/sup>\u00a0summer school on Interaction Design & User Experience (ID-UX) is concerned with teaching and experimenting with related concepts, methods, development tools\/environments and applications. The related methods are about user research, conceptual and detailed design, and the user-centred evaluation of interactive systems. The related development tools\/environments are about 3D Interactive Environments, (multitouch) gestures, and kinesthetic control. The applications include scenarios of (serious) games, education, culture and their combined conceptions.<\/p>\n Organizers and Venue<\/strong><\/p>\n The summer school is organised by the\u00a0Department of Product and Systems Design Engineering<\/a>,\u00a0University of the Aegean<\/a>, Greece.<\/p>\n Chairs: Spyros Vosinakis Assistant Prof. and Panayiotis Koutsabasis Assistant Prof.<\/p>\n Contact:\u00a0idux2015@aegean.gr<\/a><\/p>\n Dates: August 24\u2013September 5, 2015.<\/p>\n Venue:\u00a0Hermoupolis<\/a>, Island of\u00a0Syros<\/a>, Cyclades, Greece.<\/p>\n Audience – Participants<\/strong><\/p>\n The target audience \/ participants are professionals, researchers and late graduate or postgraduate students in engineering, informatics and design, as well as from the aforementioned application areas (games, education, and culture). Some background or experience on programming is desirable. The participants of the UX-ID summer school will have the opportunity to:<\/p>\n Attend lectures on contemporary concepts, methods and technologies about ID-UX.Familiarize themselves with application development in MS Visual Studio (C#) including multitouch apps, Unity 3D, Kinect\/Leap motion.Design-develop-evaluate a simple app in supervised group work at an interaction design studio.Combine all these with their summer stay for 2 weeks in the island of Syros, Greece.<\/p>\n The participants who will successfully attend the program, will receive a certification of attendance with 4 ECTS credits.<\/p>\n Registration<\/strong><\/p>\n June 21 2015.
