Interaction, Graphics and Design

Overview

Interaction, Graphics and Design at Institut Polytechnique de Paris trains students to design and create advanced interactive computing systems. It also provides them with fundamental knowledge and practical methods, as well as introducing them to advanced techniques.

Students can choose from a wide range of courses devoted to topics such as human-computer interaction, design, computer graphics, augmented/virtual reality, and multimodal interaction. 

Students may choose to study the field in breadth or focus on a specific subdomain.  Specialized classes include user-centered design, user evaluation, innovation design, interactive software development, web and mobile computing, augmented and virtual reality, information visualization, image synthesis, computational geometry, GPU programming, computer animation, 3D modeling, on-line and video games, multimedia networking, gestural interaction, multimodal interfaces, tangible fabrication, conversational agents and affective robotics.

Conducted in partnership with Université Paris-Saclay, the program is multidisciplinary and involves collaborations with experts in various fields.

Students interested early on by research are advised to apply for a PhD Track in this field (combined Master and PhD). It enables a personalized master program, early immersion in research labs and a progressive development of the thesis studies. 

Career:

On graduating, students will be equipped to pursue an industry or research career:

• Position in research or industry, especially in research and development labs
• PhD studies benefiting from the vast scientific ecosystem at the Institut Polytechnique de Paris and world-renowned research labs in France (INRIA, CNRS, CEA)
