Morten Kyng's main research areas are participatory design, computer supported cooperative work, pervasive
computing, and human-computer interaction. His main focus is currently participatory design of new paradigms
for 'palpable' pervasive computing systems. That is pervasive systems that are capable of being noticed and that
the users may investigate and apprehend mentally.
