As an assistant for the Smart Interactive Cities course, I have been engaged in exploring the theories, methods, technologies, and case studies essential for developing future smart interactive environments where humans interact with proactive, reactive, autonomous, and social platforms to achieve common goals. Throughout the course, students acquire knowledge about key research themes and experimental practices in the field of smart interactive cities while developing their skills in constructing these innovative urban spaces. Various paradigms are introduced and discussed from an interaction and design perspective, including ubiquitous computing, ambient intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, intelligent user interfaces, tangible interfaces, persuasive technology, decision-support systems, the Internet of Things, smart homes, social norms, and spatial awareness. Additionally, the course addresses societal challenges through cross-disciplinary collaboration in student projects. The curriculum is structured into theoretical and practical components, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience that prepares students to tackle the complexities of designing smart interactive cities.
