ACMP 1200 HUMAN-CENTERED COMPUTING (3 credits)
The human condition is one of the most studied, yet least understood phenomena. These days, nearly every modern human experience is mediated by technology. As humans increasingly interact with one another and non-human artificial intelligences, our ideas and conceptualizations of the human condition are shifting towards a form of posthumanism. In this class, students will use modern human-centered computing techniques to explore the posthumanist "techno-human condition" (Sarewitz and Allenby) and develop computational artifacts that are human-centered. There are no prerequisites for the course and students need nothing but their own curiosity to enter.
