This course is the finalizing technical / coding course at Devine. We'll teach you the basic principles and frameworks to get started with alternative ways of interaction (aka non keyboard / mouse interaction).
You'll get 4 weeks of new topics (Arduino, WebGL, Communication and AI), followed by a hackathon and a 5 week passion project.
Get basic knowledge of electrical circuits. Program basic Arduino sketches, interacting with different inputs and outputs. Leverage javascript applications using firmata with Johnny Five and Electron JS.
Build your own, custom shader for 2D on the web. Learn the basic principles behind a 3D engine, and get your hands dirty with ThreeJS in your javascript application.
Learn about networking and socket communication. Build client and server side socket logic using socket.io. Share webcam and microphone feeds over the internet using the WebRTC spec.
Continue to Week 3 - Communication
What is AI / Machine Learning / Neural networks? How does a neural network work? Use existing models with ml5.js and RunwayML.
Continue to Week 4 - Artificial Intelligence
Build an interactive experience in one week using the knowledge from the past weeks. Present your installation at a community event.
Pitch your ideas for your final personal project you'll be working on during the second half of the semester
