The purpose of the Interaction Lab is to support
activities where students and researchers need to explore and
"build" interactions. The students can learn and refine their
skills in electronics, interactive devices, and programming. They
can use state-of-the art products/systems to discover new
interaction paradigms, or combine bits and pieces to bring new
ideas to life. We encourage them to develop their understanding of
prototyping activities by learning how to build semi or fully
functional prototypes, but most importantly why and how it all fits
in the design process. The facilities offer gadgets, machines and
components to create "experiences" on-demand.
We see the Interaction Lab as a natural companion to the
traditional labs and workshops; wood, metal, clay, etc. It is the
perfect breeding ground for a new generation of industrial and
interaction design projects.
