When a client asks you to design an exciting experience through a product, what do you do and where do you start? Well, one way to tackle such a difficult question is by systematically trying out which aspects of the design contribute to the aspect of an exciting experience. In this assignment we focus on materials and their haptic experiences. Students learn how to find the appropriate materials for a product, and how to convey an experience with that product. Tactile materials expression are found by explorations and user experiments.
