TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION & INTERACTION DESIGN For designers it is crucial to envision future societies that are shaped through different technological trends. Most future socio-economical evolutions are based on new technological advances. Just think about how the computers, the internet, smartphones and social media have shaped society as we know it. With new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence on the rise, we train our students to grasp opportunities in these disrupting evolutions. Within this learning line students are confronted with new emerging technologies in an inspiring and reflective way, in order to gain insights in the bigger technological changes that are ahead and how designers can use these technologies to build future-proof smart products. This is not only about gaining technological knowledge, but also about creating an innovative mindset. The main focus is on the integration of digital (IoT, AI, Robotics, VR/AR) technologies in physical products.
