Research

Applications can use your data from interactions and behavior to create new experiences for you. They can personalize how you interact with computers, support peer collaborations, and help you understand yourself.

Our HCI systems research group develops these ideas into applications for anyone to try. See the students who contributed; Brown University students can learn more and get involved.
