HCDE master's team

With the rise of remote work and other effects of the pandemic, our social connections aren't limited to face to face interactions, but are heavily informed by our digital environments. Many of the ways we stay connected, such as social media, leave us feeling even more isolated. How might we use technology to foster genuine human-centered connection? In collaboration with Sony, our team reimagines how home entertainment technology can be used to create an immersive environment that connects distant loved ones through shared time and space.
