ITP (Graduate) Courses:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Course:<\/td>Topics in ITP: Interactive Environments with Touchdesigner<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Instructor:<\/td>Matthew Ross <mr5144@nyu.edu><\/td><\/tr>
Units:<\/td>4.0<\/td><\/tr>
Schedule:<\/td>Tu\/Th 6:00pm – 8:55pm (05\/19 – 06\/25) – 6W1<\/td><\/tr>
Albert Info:<\/td>ITPG-GT 2378 – 001 (5346)<\/td><\/tr>
Description:<\/td>From immersive museums and fine art galleries, to kinetic sculptures and the main stage at Coachella, Touchdesigner has become a go-to tool for artists and developers looking to create large scale interactive installations.   This course will provide students with a strong technical foundation for building interactive systems in Touchdesigner, emphasizing research-based practice, modularity, and generative systems as our core principles. There will be a strong focus on experience design, where we will challenge students to use Touchdesigner as a platform to unlock new possibilities in aesthetics, narrative and form.  We will explore the larger landscape around Interactive Installations, surveying artists, developers and studios doing interesting work within the field.  Students will learn the techniques needed to set up their own installations including building control interfaces, DMX lighting, projection mapping, networking, computer configuration, audio routing, multi screen layouts, and interfacing with microcontrollers. We will explore how to use generative design principles to create endlessly shifting visual environments, lighting effects that dramatically alter the mood of a room, and audio that has the ability to move and react to users in 3D Space.  Not only will we spend time thinking about how we can craft a compelling narrative, but also how we make sure your software doesn\u2019t crash.  The goal of this class is to help students develop their skills as Creative Technologists, balancing artistic expression with technical execution and knowledge.  There is no prerequisite class required for this, but an introductory knowledge of coding is strongly suggested.<\/td><\/tr>
Special Notes:<\/td>This section is open to all NYU students, except Freshman and Sophomore UGs. You may self-register in Albert, no permission required. Visiting students may also register – please email george.agudow@nyu.edu for steps on how to proceed.

IMA NY (Undergraduate) Courses:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Course:<\/td>Code!<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Instructor:<\/td>Dave Stein <des8963@nyu.edu><\/td><\/tr>
Units:<\/td>2.0<\/td><\/tr>
Schedule:<\/td>Asynchronous (05\/18 – 06\/30) – 6W1<\/td><\/tr>
Albert Info:<\/td>IMNY-UT 1 – 001 (5347)<\/td><\/tr>
Description:<\/td>This online course focuses on the fundamentals of computer programming (variables, conditionals, iteration, functions & objects) using JavaScript. In particular it leverages the p5.js creative computing environment which is oriented towards visual displays on desktops, laptops, tablets or smartphones. The course is designed for computer programming novices. What can computation add to human communication? You will gain a deeper understanding of the possibilities of computation\u2013\u2013 possibilities that will augment and enhance the perspectives, abilities and knowledge you bring from your field of study (e.g. art, design, humanities, sciences, engineering). Each week you will complete a coding exercise and reflect on your process in a short forum post along with a wrap-up assignment at the end. At first it may feel foreign, as foreign as learning a new language or way of thinking. But soon, once you get some basic skills under your belt, you\u2019ll be able to make projects that reflect your own interests and passions.<\/td><\/tr>

Albert Info:<\/td>IMNY-UT 2 – 001 (5348)<\/td><\/tr>
Description:<\/td>This online course builds on concepts introduced in Code! by applying JavaScript programming skills to interactive media projects. Using the p5.js creative coding library, students will design dynamic visual experiences for the web across desktop and mobile platforms. Students will have the opportunity to experiment with topics such as sound, basic game development, body tracking, and algorithmic art. Completion of Code! or equivalent experience is required. Prior knowledge of JavaScript and the p5.js library is expected<\/td><\/tr>

Course:<\/td>User Experience Design<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Instructor:<\/td>Akshay Verma <av1354@nyu.edu><\/td><\/tr>
Units:<\/td>4.0<\/td><\/tr>
Schedule:<\/td>Mo\/We 6:00pm – 9:30pm (07\/01 – 08\/10) – 6W2<\/td><\/tr>
Albert Info:<\/td>IMNY-UT 262 – 001 (5351)<\/td><\/tr>
Description:<\/td>This course aims to provide students with the critical thinking and practical skills for creating effective and compelling interfaces. We will dissect what a compelling user experience is and discuss and apply design methods for creating one. Throughout this course we will examine a wide range of examples of interfaces with a focus on understanding the attributes of a successful interface and applying proven research, mapping and testing techniques. The class format will include lectures, case studies, student presentations, discussions of readings and in-class design exercises. The format is very hands-on with assignments that focus on problems that are typical of those a UX designer will encounter in the professional world.<\/td><\/tr>

The class will culminate in a student showcase of experimental and interactive 3D works. Coursework will take the form of creative and technical exercises, as well as critical responses to readings, games, and other media. Lessons are conducted using the Unity game engine, though participants are welcome to complete coursework using other tools such as Unreal Engine or web-based platforms. Some prior experience and basic familiarity with programming concepts is recommended.<\/td><\/tr>
