The group is currently involved in the following projects
PalCom aims to research and develop a new perspective on ambient computing denoted palpable computing. Palpable denotes that systems are capable of being noticed and mentally apprehended. Palpable systems support people in understanding what is going on at the level they choose. Palpable systems support control and choice by people. Often the default mode is to suggest courses of action rather than acting automatically. Palpable computing will go beyond state-of-the-art and complement the vision of ambient computing.
InteractiveSpaces is an interdisciplinary research center bringing together architecture, engineering, and computer science with the research mission to create new concepts for future interactive spaces. InteractiveSpaces.net also bring together companies and public researchers in a R&D activities leading to new products and services for specific domains. The research activities focus on six themes which may be applicable to one or more of the application domain projects undertaken in the center. The application domains to be studies include schools, libraries, museums, homes and specific workplaces and homes.
The Centre for New Ways of Working is aimed at exploring the transformation of the modern workplace.
Pervasive computing goes beyond the traditional user interfaces, on the one hand imploding them into small devices and appliances, and on the other hand exploding them onto large scale walls, buildings and furniture.
Earlier projects include:
The aim of this project was to bring together the valuable experiences made both in the industry and in the scientific environment and through an action oriented research strategy to further develop the theoretical, methodical and practical basis for usability work. The project had special focus on development in use, realistic use situations and testing new kinds of user involvement.
The project transcended many limitations of the WWW model and created new technological possibilities for users of hypermedia on the Internet by focusing on two main sub-activities being "Hypermedia based collaboration support on the Internet" and "Component based Web-services and Web-building blocks for non-programmers".
The Centre for Human-Machine Interaction (CHMI) was established in 1998 by the Danish National Research Foundation, Risų National Laboratory and the University of Aarhus. CHMI was organized as a cross-disciplinary research network between some twenty scientists and PhD students at seven Danish sites with an engagement in the fundamental aspects of human-machine interaction and their implications for design. The aim of the joint activities was to get an improved theoretical understanding of human behavior in complex, technologically advanced work settings, and, based on these insights, to develop novel principles for the design of user-centered human-machine systems.
The DESARTE project was concerned with the design of computer-based systems to support the work of architects and landscape architects.
The focus of the DMM project was on research issues central to the development and use of distributed multimedia.
The objective of the WorkSPACE project was to develop software components and hardware artefacts that may be combined and integrated into augmented reality work places, environments, and fields.
