Research

In our research we apply approaches drawn from a variety of fields, with a focus on qualitative methods such as interviews for data collection or affinity diagramming for data analysis. Building upon a thorough understanding of a problem space, we iteratively develop designs and systems that offer people new interactive experiences.

Sustainability
We are looking for new ways how research in HCI and Ubiquitous Computing can inform the design of consumer electronics for a more sustainable future by fostering attachment and encouraging longer use.

Tangible Methods
Tangible systems attempt to bridge the physical and the digital worlds. HCI researchers and practitioners are usually working towards a digital system, but use many hands-on processes in the analysis and design phases to get there. This project explores the potential of augmenting the physical artifacts (paper notes) used in the HCI affinity diagramming process.
