Creative Interfaces Lab: Advancing Human-Computer Interaction and Bharat-Centric Design
Welcome to the Creative Interfaces Lab, a premier Design-research-oriented lab working in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). We strive to design, create, and evaluate interactive tools and experiences that enhance human capabilities and imagination. Our research focuses on User Experience (UX) and Interaction Design, strongly emphasizing Tangible User Interfaces, Extended Reality (XR), and the Metaverse. Additionally, we also explore technology for Interactive Arts and installations while operating within the domain of HCI. The lab has been founded by Dr. Anmol Srivastava.
Our Core Research Domains
- User Experience (UX) and Interaction Design: We delve into the principles of usability and aesthetics to craft intuitive and engaging user experiences. We aim to enhance how users interact with technology, making it seamless and enjoyable.
- Tangible and Embodied Interactions (TEI): We explore the fusion of the physical and digital worlds through Tangible and Embodied User Interfaces and Interactions. Our research aims to create interfaces where users can touch, manipulate, and interact more naturally and intuitively.
- Extended Reality (XR) and the Metaverse: We specialize in XR technologies, including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). Our work in the Metaverse focuses on developing immersive experiences that transcend traditional boundaries, opening new avenues for interaction and engagement.
- Design Research: Our lab is committed to advancing the field of Design through rigorous research. We investigate new methods, tools, and frameworks to better understand and solve complex design problems. By bridging theory and practice, we aim to push the boundaries
Bharat-Centric HCI: Embracing Culture and Innovation
While our lab embraces diverse and imaginative approaches, we hold a special affinity for designs that resonate with Bharat. We are passionate about creating solutions that understand, reflect, and embrace Bharat’s rich culture, diverse needs, and boundless potential. Our Bharat-centric HCI explorations intertwine cultural richness with cutting-edge HCI technologies to develop innovative solutions that are culturally relevant and technologically advanced.
Key Projects and Initiatives
Cultural Heritage Preservation: Utilizing XR to create immersive experiences that preserve and promote Bharat’s cultural heritage.
Educational Tools: Designing interactive learning tools that cater to the diverse educational needs of Bharat.
See our Projects page for more information.
Collaborative Support
The Creative Interfaces Lab is part of the Department of Human-Centered Design at IIIT Delhi. Our lab is also supported by the Center for Design and New Media, an initiative backed by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS Foundation). This collaboration enables us to leverage a wealth of resources and expertise, fostering an environment of innovation and excellence.
Join Us in Shaping the Future
We openly welcome bold and imaginative approaches, particularly those that explore Bharat-centric themes. If you are passionate about blending cultural richness with advanced HCI technologies, we invite you to join us on our journey to shape the future of human-computer interaction.
