Our research is focused on the question: what if interfaces would share part of our body? Our group has materialized these ideas by creating interactive systems that intentionally borrow parts of the user’s body for input and output; allowing computers to be more directly interwoven in our bodily senses and actuators. We believe this might assist us in answering: what new interface paradigm comes after wearable devices?
The Human Computer Integration research lab is led by Prof. Pedro Lopes at the Computer Science Department of the University of Chicago.
