User Interface Research (UIR) is a research group in the Information Sciences & Technology Lab at PARC. Our charter is to develop new techniques for people to interact with large information environments. On the one hand, we have computer scientists working on new user interface paradigms; on the other hand, we have cognitive scientists working on the technical analysis of human behavior in information environments.
The GVU Center leads at the forefront of research that combines in-depth studies of human capabilities, needs, and practices, cutting-edge graphical display techniques, augmented spaces that merge physical and virtual elements, intelligent sensing, and novel input, output and wearable technologies.
The web site of the British HCI Group offers a service to practitioners, researchers, consumers, students and anyone with an interest in highly usable computing and communications systems.
