Interactive Media Design

industry

We are developing very strong links with world-leading companies. For the last two years, Microsoft Research have invited our students to work with our neighbouring course, Product Design, on an invited competition - as the only courses in the UK to be invited! This has involved four of our current students, Neil, Jo, Ruth and Mike, being flown out to Microsoft HQ near Seattle to present their work at Microsoft's research conference.
Here's some of the feedback they got:

"It bridges the generations of people, but actually I think it was just as elegant how it bridged the generations of technologies: [your grandfather] speaks in the technology of his day and you view in the technology of your day and it's seamless - that's elegant and I've not seen that before... so thank you". Bill Buxton, Principal Researcher, Microsoft

• "(((Aw man, this dead-media hoax "museum exhibit" by these Scots design students is just the awesomest. No wonder they're in BoingBoing and We Make Money Not Art today. I only worry for future dead-media researches who find this on some dusty Wayback archive and swallow these frauds hook, line and sinker.))) (((Plus they even come with *little online videos.* That kills me.)))"
