Oren Zuckerman: "Internet of Things & Assistive technologies—research projects at the IDC Media Innovation Lab"

The Media Innovation Lab at IDC is a research and prototyping lab, focused on the interaction between people and technology in domains that merge between the physical and digital worlds. Dr. Oren Zuckerman will present the "Objects for Change" research projects at the media innovation lab, including research opportunities for CS students. Objects for Change projects merge between 3 disciplines within Human-Computer Interaction research: (1) Tangible interfaces, which are physical-digital objects (2) Internet of Things, which are devices that connect to the internet and interact as a network of objects, and (3) Assistive technologies, which are technologies that promote behavior change, learning, or training.
