\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWelcome 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.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
