- 互動媒體設計 Interactive Media Design
互動設計不止局限於平面，包含實體的產品、甚至空間，只要是能和人類溝通、有互動的都可稱得上是互動設計。簡單來說互動設計以概念為出發點，研究和數據分析中獲得設計依據。其根本的核心就是提高使用者體驗、使產品更好用、功能更符合人性化邏輯。發展方向以互動媒體應用與互動遊戲設計為主，並創造互動式體驗的情境與場域。運用資訊科技，整合各類數位媒體，除了單純動畫與互動遊戲外，包含將動畫、互動遊戲、影片、MV、網站、繪本、數位教材、主題活動、AR、VR、產品等整合到專題上，再加上宣傳、行銷概念進行整合性之設計與規劃。
Interactive design is not limited to plane only, but also comprises substantial products or even space as long as it can communicate and interact with people. The basic core of increasing user interactive media application and design of interactive games is emphasized to create scenarios and fields of interactive experiences.A variety of digital media are integrated by using information technology. Besides pure animation and interactive games, media integration design is to design and plan in an integrative way by incorporating animation, interactive games, videos, MV, websites, picture books, digital teaching materials, theme activities, AR, VR and products into subjects with promotion and marketing. - 動畫媒體設計 Animation Media Design
動畫媒體為運用電腦產生或製作的連續影像，廣泛地應用於娛樂及其他工商業用途之動畫媒體，包括：電影、電視廣播媒體、網路串流媒體與產業界所需要的動態圖像與展示影像等。
Animation media applies continuous images generated or produced by computers to entertainment, business or industry expansively such as dynamic graphics and display images required in movies, TV broadcast media, streaming media and the industry.
