Welcome to the interact lab at the University of Sussex

Playing and Learning  Growing Old: Having Fun
 Pervasive Playful Learning  Creativity and Embodied Interaction

We take a user-centred approach to understanding and designing for interactions between people and technologies in everyday contexts. We are particularly interested in new possibilities enabled by pervasive/ubiquitous sensors, wireless networks, tangible and handheld devices. We design and evaluate deployments in authentic environments and reflect on these to develop theories and methods that are used in turn for design.
