Motivation & Project Description

• Sense human action and display information that is enjoyable and functional
• Merge modalities for an intuitive and natural feel of technologies
• Enhancing interactions between people and services through sensory-aware technologies
• Create technologies that primarily consider human aspects of interaction
• Promote tangibility in human-machine interaction
• Explore emotive and affective qualities of sensory-rich interaction
• Conduct research into human sensory-motor capabilities and mechanisms (in particular with the aim of supporting such capabilities by novel interfaces)

Expected Outcome:

• Build interfaces that allow new services and forms of communication
• Find design principles that promote specific moods in the user
• Explore utility and malleability in sensory-motor integration
• Believability and desirability of physical interactions
• Create parametric models for the generation of expressive sound and virtual reality
• Acquire and evaluate extensive amounts of human sensory-motor response data
