Interactive Computing
Our faculty are recognized leaders in how people and computers can collaborate effectively.
Interacting with computers is essential in modern life, impacting activities from safe driving to maximizing phone features and enhancing productivity and creativity. Our research tackles important issues in social computing, design and creativity, decision-making, intelligent systems, and cognitive modeling. We study algorithm transparency in social media feeds, the role of robotics in supporting aging at home, and the use of crowdsourcing in creative projects.
Collaborating with industry leaders such as Adobe, Facebook, Google, Intel, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Tableau, we combine insights from machine learning, psychology, design, and the learning sciences to address pressing societal challenges. Additionally, we enhance the presentation of information, creating engaging experiences that range from interactive dashboards to immersive virtual reality displays.
