Research Area: HCI EECS at UC Berkeley

Overview

A Persons-Computer Interaction Group in EECS studies interaction in current and future computing environments, spanning workplaces, homes, public spaces, and beyond. The HCI group partcipates in collaborations with scholars and designers across campus, driving research presented at venues for example CHI, UIST, DIS, VIS, and CSCW, and helps to create novel artifacts that cause real-world impact, benefiting finish users past the academic community.

Our research happens in a number of spaces on campus. Additionally to core EECS facilities, make certain within the Berkeley Institute of Design (BID), a 4000-sq foot research lab made to promote interdisciplinary collaboration. Researchers have the Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation which supplies extensive prototyping and fabrication sources. A number of our faculty also provide partners towards the School of knowledge that provides masters and PhD programs centered on HCI.
