Interaction design

How do we integrate new technology seamlessly into human activity in a way that serves as well as delights? We address this challenge with a methodological focus on understanding technology in context 'in the wild'. We work in HCI, interaction and user experience design, music computing, technology-enhanced learning, immersive environments, and animal-computer interaction. You can find out more about the group on our website.
