Team
The Interaction Lab team consists of a group of enthusiastic students from BSc Creative Technology and MSc Interaction Technology.
Problem
The Interaction Lab mainly aims to solve three problems.
- Technology is expensive and gets outdated quickly
- Knowledge often gets lost with regards to how to use technology but also regarding the continued use of outcomes and technologies of research projects
- The connection between researchers and students but also among students could benefit from further strengthening
APPROACH
- By serving as a library of different pieces of technology, students and researchers no longer need to buy tech. Instead, they can borrow tech for free from the lab.
- Through a wiki website with tutorials and documentation, the knowledge can be saved and transferred to future generations of students and researchers.
- By creating an inspiring environment, everyone has the chance to meet and collaborate with other people with the same interests. The lab's physical space serves as a place to work and chill with fellow students and researchers.
Result
- High-tech equipment and solutions are easily available to students and researchers
- By transferring knowledge and saving it centrally, people can start their projects from where other people have left off, no time is spent on work that has already been done before
- A nice space is created where students and researchers can work together
