Haptic Assistive Media Laboratory (HAM Lab) at GIST
designs, implements, and evaluates interactive user interface
to help people based on the psychophysical understanding to human.
Mainly on Haptics, our lab focuses on how to utilize multimodal sensory input to and feedback from the user interfaces for salient and rich user experiences.
