UQ Interaction Design Exhibit

User experience design, or UX, is changing the way we connect with products, services and each other.

Experience new ways to interact with digital technology in this rapidly evolving field at the 2024 UQ Interaction Design Exhibit!

What's on

This Women in Computing event at The University of Queensland (UQ) provides an excellent opportunity to discover the exciting and endless career options available in technology, software engineering and computer science. This event is designed for high school students with a particular focus on empowering women in computing.

This year, UQ will again host interactive prototypes developed by Bachelor of Information Technology (User Experience Design major) and Master of Interaction Design students from the Physical Computing and Interaction Design Studio course.

In this design computing project, students explore the theme 'Future Everyday: Novel Interactions for Near Future Technologies' - and reimagine opportunities for technology in our everyday lives.

Focusing on this theme through imagination, creativity and inspired by science fiction, students will design concepts for novel technology-mediated experiences that uphold, reveal and explore human values (e.g. emotional intelligence, creative learning, and sustainability) in specific contexts – think Internet of Things, tangible interaction and persuasive technology.

Don't miss this great opportunity to see how UQ's future user experience design professionals bridge the gap between the physical and digital world.
