Institution:

DigiPen Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite(s): None Relative to modern technological media, the most important issue to consider is the nature of the interactive loop of influence between media and culture. Interactivity is one of the most powerful and important potentials of the game medium, but the term is often used with superficial understanding of its implications. This course emphasizes the nature of interactivity primarily from psychological and sociological perspectives. Students will review and define interactive media using examples drawn from academic research, film, television, and games. Students will have ample opportunity to contemplate and discuss how they can apply a more comprehensive understanding of interactivity in order to surpass the current limits of interactive media products.
