Handbook

As we become increasingly compelled throughout our daily interactions to work or engage with digital and automated systems, we need to remain mindful of their purpose and impact on our lives. This course will help you understand how and why humans engage with immersive environments and technology systems in order to make better and more effective use of their potential.

Human cognition, performance and behaviour will be analysed across fully synthetic and virtual environments, as well as live and mixed reality contexts. You will examine ergonomic factors and how they impact performance in addition to more complex cognitive human responses, evolving human-machine relationships and next generation AI.

This course is designed to be low-residency. It is conducted online with up to 3 face-to-face intensive meetups per term held during weekends on campus or at our industry partner facilities. Students will also have full access to all on-campus facilities throughout each term. If students are not based in Sydney, they may incur additional travel and accommodation costs.
