About the Program

The URL offers Informatics students an opportunity to explore a variety of topics that exist on the periphery of Human-Computer Interaction, often filling in areas that are not covered in undergraduate HCI curricula. Students can expect to apply what they have learned in coursework to interesting and novel human-centered projects. In some circumstances, successful projects have the potential for submission to academic conferences. In all circumstances, project teams will have a unique piece for their portfolios.

If you are interested in submitting a proposal, simply complete the form below. Proposals that emphasize physical computing (e.g., systems that incorporate cameras, gesture, arduino, 3D printing, alternative forms of interaction, etc.) and accessibility or assistive technology are preferred. However, compelling projects that build on more traditional interaction tools, but offer some novel or otherwise interesting concepts are acceptable.
