An academic lab at ITU is a physical laboratory that seeks to encourage interaction between faculty, students and external stakeholders. There are both research and teaching labs – often combined. A lab has an academic responsible defining the overall aim and purpose of the lab. Additionally, a lab will typically have a lab manager who handles the daily administration.

The IxD Lab conducts research through material, technological, and embodied experimentations exploring alternative avenues for interaction design. Specifically, we are working with a critical/speculative lens on the practices of designing for healthcare in the private sphere such as self tracking and welfare technologies as well as medical devises for the home.
