What we work on
HAI Lab studies computational models and interactive systems that make AI more aware of human bodies, intentions, and contexts. Below highlights our major research directions.
Human Behavior Modeling
Learning computational models of human actions, intentions, attention, and interaction patterns from multimodal behavioral data.
Eye Tracking
Analyzing gaze, fixation, and visual attention signals to understand how people perceive, decide, and interact with their environments.
Virtual and Augmented Reality
Building immersive systems that integrate sensing, interaction, and intelligent assistance across virtual and augmented environments.
Human-Computer Interaction
Designing and evaluating interactive systems that improve how people use, understand, and collaborate with computing technologies.
Human-AI Interaction
Studying how people communicate with, control, trust, and co-create with AI systems in everyday and professional settings.
