Interaction Design and Work Practice Laboratory

A B O U T U S

Interaction Design is an emerging area of design research and practice that is concerned with those aspects of the design of interactive technology that shape people's experience when they use the technology. It is the design of the potentials for possible action by real, living people when they use information and communications technologies to support, mediate and/or enable their activities in some way.

Our starting point for the design of any technology for human use is the recognition that all human action is embodied, situated and social. An understanding of actual human practice is basic to our research and this is reflected in the design of our projects and in the interdisciplinary approaches, techniques and methodologies we use. This is the lab where human-computer interaction (HCI) and usability design research is done.
