Digital Interaction is a School of Computing Science research group based in Culture Lab. We explore technologies and methods for the design of people’s interactions with computer-based systems. In addition to conventional technology and design innovation (which we do lots of) we seek to utilise a fuller understanding of the richness of human experience and personal relations, and use this in the development of technology that contributes to both increasing people’s wellbeing and making people’s lives more meaningful and interesting. To do this we need to look beyond the confines of conventional science and engineering research and address the problem of creating technology that enhances, rather than diminishes, our experience of the world. We adopt and develop interdisciplinary approaches that also incorporate techniques and perspectives from the arts, humanities and social sciences. In our research we engage with, and work closely with, clinicians, architects, musicians, artists, film makers, lawyers and social scientists in the exploration of the nature of people’s encounters with technology. We are particularly interested in both the experiences of people who might be considered non-standard users (including older people and people with cognitive impairments) and the everyday scenarios envisaged by proponents of pervasive computing (also know as ubiquitous computing), a vision of the future in which technology is integrated into the very fabric of the world around us.
