Midi Programming
A.Y. 2024/2025
Learning objectives
The course presents tools, methods and interfaces for expressive multisensory interaction, developing in particular:
- MIDI and OSC protocols
- multisensory feedback and input devices
- the design and evaluation of the interaction
- MIDI and OSC protocols
- multisensory feedback and input devices
- the design and evaluation of the interaction
Expected learning outcomes
The student must be able to:
- know the principles of multisensory interaction design
- understand and design perception-action relationships centered on sound and multisensory interaction
- design and conduct experiments to evaluate the interaction
- know the principles of multisensory interaction design
- understand and design perception-action relationships centered on sound and multisensory interaction
- design and conduct experiments to evaluate the interaction

Assessment methods and Criteria
Each student will design, develop, and evaluate a sonic interaction, which will be discussed with the instructor. The students are encouraged to engage in forms of co-design and cross-evaluation.
A final presentation, including the accompanying documentation, will be evaluated by the instructor and scored between 18 and 30, with the possibility of laude for original and innovative contributions.
