At the CollaboLab, we are interested in understanding and designing systems capable of supporting group interactions and communication in a variety of contextual environments.
Our current research programs span a number of areas including understanding how various forms of visual information influence our social interactions, developing dynamic visualizations of interaction patterns in online environments, building computational models and systems that account for real-time contextual information to support interaction, and much more!
