Focuses on the study of collaboration and informal learning in teams and communities, emphasizing how information technology can motivate, energize, enhance, or otherwise support collaboration and learning. The research objective of the lab is to design and investigate architectures and systems to integrate synchronous and asynchronous activity, to develop and study new applications and user interface techniques for collaborative software, and to evaluate and understand the consequences for people and their communities as they learn and apply new information technologies.

Investigating the design of future computing experiences with a focus on exploring techniques that bridges the gap between theatrical and cinematic practice and the design of computational interactive real-time experiences. As well as exploring the role of computational tools in facilitating reflective practice and enhancing cognition and performance.

This laboratory hosts research activities for the development of a conceptual, computational, and usability engineering approaches toward natural, multimodal, multi-user dialogue-enabled interfaces to geographic information systems that make use of large-screen displays, virtual environment, and mobile computing technologies. The goal is to make distributed and highly complicated geographical information resources accessible to (non-expert) users and to facilitate collaborative spatial decision-making among teams
