The course of Interactive Media

Processing is a programming language developed for interactive technologies including vector/raster drawing, image processing, color models, mouse and keyboard events, and network communication. Libraries easily extends Processing’s ability to generate sound, 2D or 3D objects.

Arduino is a platform including a hardware and a software. The hardware is a simple input/output board and the software a development environment implemented by Processing. Arduino can be used to develop a standalone interactive objective or can be connected to software on your computer such as Processing, or Flash.

Rules of the course of Interactive Media
1. ‘Learning by coding’ is the distinguishing feature of the course.
- Each class is divided into two sections: Instruction and experiment.

2. Discussions are very much encouraged but ONLY during the section of experiment.

3. No discussion is allowed while broadcasting demonstrations and instructions. For any violation, 10 points will be deducted from your final score each time.

4. Students are asked to be on time in the class. For any violation, 5 points will be deducted from your final score each time.
