What we do
At i_mBODY Lab we conduct multidisciplinary research at the intersection of the areas of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Cognitive Neuroscience and Engineering. We investigate how to design novel sensorial and body-centred paradigms and technologies that change people’s perceptions of their own body and the world, their interactions and emotions. We aim to inform solutions to support people’s needs and for behaviour change in real life contexts.
i_mBODY Lab is part of the DEI Interactive Systems Group at UC3M.
we design sensorial, interactive and wearable prototypes. Our user-centred design methodology involves embodied design explorations with stakeholders and designers, fast-prototyping techniques and user tests in the lab and in real-life.
