Embedded Interface Design

The objective of this specialization is to provide an understanding of interface design approaches and architectures for creating solid user experiences in embedded system prototypes and products. For both machine and user interfaces, we will look at the best practices for the interface design process, including considerations of the nature and content of interaction, whether between devices, between a device and a user, or in more complex systems

• User experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design considerations and methods for embedded devices and systems
• Machine-to-machine (M2M) and internet of things (IoT) protocols and architectures, including leveraging cloud platforms for system designs
• Rapid prototyping for embedded devices to explore interface and system designs, leveraging UI tools, single-board computers, sensors, and the cloud

• Basic familiarity with the topic and its common terminology
• Readiness to practice through applied exercises or case-based work
