Tendências em Mídia e Interação
CIN0055, an undergraduate course at CIn/UFPE created in 2026 to replace Introdução à Multimídia, which Giordano Cabral taught from 2015 to 2025. With artificial intelligence at every stage, the student surveys existing tools and chooses an emerging topic. They build their own futurization tool and compare the map it produces with a map made beforehand by the professor, blind. In the final stage, they build an experiment tested by the class.

The course
Tendências em Mídia e Interação (Trends in Media and Interaction, CIN0055) is a 60-hour undergraduate course in CIn/UFPE's new curriculum, taught by Giordano Cabral since 2026.1, with Jefferson Marcelo da Paixão Santos as teaching assistant. It succeeds Introdução à Multimídia (Introduction to Multimedia), which he taught for 21 editions, and keeps the same structure: students identify the trends and the professor provides the framework to analyze them. The field spans multimedia, XR, computer graphics, audio, games, animation, and interaction; rather than covering it in full, each student picks a topic and goes deep into it.
Semesters
Two editions: 2026.1, from March to July, with around 41 students; and 2026.2, currently underway, with 14 students, remote by default. Each edition has its own website, with submissions, galleries, and future maps made available to the class on presentation day; the current edition is at www.cin.ufpe.br/tmi/26-2/.

The CIN0055 course at CIn/UFPE, created in 2026 to replace Introdução à Multimídia. With artificial intelligence at every stage, students survey what exists and choose a topic that is changing. They then build their own tool for imagining the future and compare its map with the professor's. In the third stage, they build an experiment that the class tests.
