Objectives

The curricular unit aims to deepen knowledge regarding technologies involving Digital Media. Seminars will present some of the most relevant technologies to carry out a project, while also acquiring skills and competences in the process of developing a concrete proposal. As a result, they are able to select and integrate technologies in Digital Media projects.

Program (topics for seminars - example)

• Introduction to Digital Media Technologies
• Programming Environments (Processing and openFrameworks)
• Technologies for Augmented and Virtual Reality Interaction
• Machine Learning/Deep Learning
• Computer Graphics
• IoT and Sensors
• Sound Computing
• Technology integration in Digital Media projects
  

Teaching

Schedule: Thursday, 16-18. Support in project development.
