Computational Human Centered Design

Who We Are

We are a diverse interdisciplinary group of researchers, designers, and developers

What We Do

We study computational methods for improving design processes and human simulation

Our Goal

To improve accessibility and human experience in the built environment

Mechanics & Electronics

As computation becomes more accessible, both in cost and in size, the everyday products we encounter have the potential to become more independent and provide alternative services than their main function. In this class, the basics and fundamentals of how these products work are covered in a bottom up approach. This means rather than focus on designing a 'smart chair,' the class will go over the basics of how electrical circuits work, how various sensors work, and how the mechanics aspects of a moving chair could work.
