Technology Evaluation Lab - Institute for Creative Technologies

The ICT Technology Evaluation Lab conducts lines of research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) and Human-Building Interaction (HBI). Our goal is to optimize interaction, and subsequent outcomes, between humans and social intelligence, including virtual agents, social robots, and other social interfaces in the built environment. Current research includes designing virtual or embodied technology to interact with human users. We also conduct user studies to examine that interaction empirically, with a particular focus in building relationships, rapport and trust with machines, as well as ones that can persuade, negotiate or otherwise engage in social influence with humans (including fostering behavior change). For Human-Building Interaction (HBI) the lab focuses on technology for built environments, especially the interaction between smart buildings and their occupants. The lab not only develops prototypes and applications, but importantly, conducts user s
