When talking about human computer interaction, we almost always think of sitting in front of a monitor, mouse, and keyboard, and manipulating visual elements on the screen. This is an unnatural asymmetric interaction, with the human communicating using physical input, and the computer communicating visually. This interaction model greatly restricts the possibilities. Over the semester, students will develop a project based on other modes and means of human-computer interaction, either individually or within a small group, and will regularly present to the class for discussion and criticism. Prerequisites: CS 1214, DM 3143.

This class continues from DM 3153, delving into advanced technological implementations of 3D games, specifically focusing on the Torque Game Engine, but with concepts applicable to game production in general. Working together in teams, students will implement a complete game during the course of the semester. Based on students' current abilities and individual goals, production areas ranging from modeling, texturing, and level design, to engine coding, and interaction scripting will be assigned to individual students. It will be their responsibility to complete their assignments, as if they were members of a professional game development team. Prerequisite: DM 3153 and/or DM 4133 and/or DM 4143.
