The CHROME Lab is a place where engineers work collaboratively with professionals to create new technologies that augment human capabilities -- not hinder them. In a world where humans are often required to "learn" technology, we seek instead, to adopt human-centered design practices that result in technologies that feel natural and intuitive. We are particularly interested in how we can promote effective multimodal information transfer, with a focus on haptic (touch) technologies as a primary mode of interaction. Our research applications span education, medicine, and consumer technologies. Our research partners span educators and schools, clinical practitioners, and those on the margins of society - for whom technologies are often not designed, but from whom, we stand much to learn about human capacity.
