Great news for MA Industrial Design students who have been set an exciting challenge by Microsoft.

Microsoft have tasked MA Industrial Design students to peer into their crystal balls to demonstrate new concepts in man-machine interaction.

Central Saint Martins students are challenged to find an alternative to the mouse and keyboard, or technologies similar to those that are emerging today in the field of gesture, voice and facial recognition.

The results of this sponsored project will be unveiled at a showcase event at Central Saint Martin’s College in April this year, with students likely to present a range of creative hardware and user experience design solutions to an invited audience of design luminaries and media. One student will also be awarded the first Microsoft UK Design Award which comes attached with a cash prize.
