In this unit, you will expand on your design practice to consider senses other than sight. Your introduction into the topic will include exploration and discussion of examples and approaches to sensory design, which may include an expanded understanding of senses such as hearing, proprioception and balance in relation to spatial perception. Through a project-based approach you will explore and develop your own sensory design approaches.
