IDL

The Interaction Design Lab brings together the research interests and expertise in the field of interactive systems and applications from the design area. We see ourselves as partners in business and academia. Our aim is to design, develop and pioneer new forms of interactive systems, objects and spaces. Here, you can find a list of our current research topics.

Prototyping

Prototyping is an essential part of our development process - no matter if we are working on software interfaces, interactive installations or physical interfaces. Early on in the design process, we build low level prototypes that enable us to test and evaluate the design.

Visualization

At the Interaction Design Lab, we consider visualization as one of our core competences. Our approach to visualization blends scientific information visualization with a unique understanding of form, interaction and usage. We believe that design principles and design thinking should be applied to the development of information and data visualizations.
