Human-Centered Computing

Our work in human-centered computing explores and enhances the ways in which people and communities engage with and experience technology. 

Our research considers the personal, educational, cultural, and ethical implications of innovation. Drawing upon techniques from human-computer interaction, learning sciences, sensing and more, we aim to maximize the potential benefits of technology while minimizing potential harms to individuals, groups and society.

A team in the Mobile Intelligence Lab developed Spatial Speech Translation to enable simultaneous translation in group conversations while preserving the direction and qualities of each person’s voice.

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.
