Interactive Institute Umeå
External homepage: http://interactiveinstituteumea.com/
Interactive Institute Umeå is a design research group focusing on experimental interaction design, primarily for use in industrial environments. We work with extreme users, extreme environments, and extreme interactions.
The studio has strong ties to the lively and creative interaction design and human-computer interaction environment at Umeå University, Sweden. We’re funded by Swedish ICT Research AB, Umeå University, ABB Corporate Research, Vinnova, and Process IT Innovations.
Our research is primarily intended to impact the Interaction Design (IxD) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) communities.
Our work is prototype-oriented -- i.e. our projects involve designing and building new, innovative technologies that work. Right now, for instance, we are working seamless interaction between mobile and stationary devices, new kinds of indoor location awareness techniques, multimodal interaction using the touch sense, and an array of different multi-touch surfaces, interaction styles, and applications.
Studio Director is Daniel Fällman, +46 (0)70 2545540, E-mail: daniel.fallman@tii.se
