Events
Designing Undefined Perspectives!
25 – 26 February 2023, Toni-Areal, Zurich, Switzerland
Interaction design is in rapid transition, likely due to its youth as a discipline—only around thirty years old—and the constant evolution of materials, technology, and challenges. Traditionally focused on interfaces between people and machines, the field is now shifting toward hybrid physical-digital materials, complex ecologies, and autonomous systems that change over time. How will these shifts impact our discipline and its educational potential?
As part of Interaction Design Week 2023, we invited educators, learners, practitioners, and businesses to the Education Summit for inspiring talks, hands-on workshops, and panel discussions on the future of interaction design. The Education Summit provided a unique platform to share ideas, methods, and insights, connect with others, and experience Zurich University of the Arts, one of Europe's leading art academies.
