Interaction with the Physical World

Advances in low- and no-power sensing, communication and interaction technologies offer new possibilities for blending digital innovation with our physical environment.

From gesture recognition that allows people to interact with objects in new ways, to low-power sensors that collect and transmit data about temperature, air quality, urban accessibility and more, our researchers are tapping into the potential of computation to transform how we experience the world around us.

Highlights


Computing Research Association

The Computing Research Association recognized Schulz for her research and leadership in computer graphics, including her work to advance new computational tools for manufacturing-oriented design.

UW News

Researchers in the Allen School’s UbiComp Lab created the ProxiCycle sensor system to get a handle on which routes are best — and worst — for bikes, finding a significant correlation between the sensor data and other indicators of cycling risk.

Allen School News

The ACM Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction recognized Fogarty’s leadership and contributions to human-computer interaction research including ubiquitous computing, interactive machine learning, accessibility and personal health informatics.
