Welcome to FIT Lab

FIT Lab Team 2009

FIT means Future Interaction Technologies — it’s about the complex devices that change our lives, for better or worse — whether in our homes, cars, mobile phones or medical devices.

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) can be a creative and exciting field of research, but in collaboration with companies like Microsoft Research, Nokia, and the NHS, the FIT Lab likes to focus on Grand Challenges.

The FIT Lab was opened in 2006 by Professor Harold Thimbleby and has since grown to include a range of world-leading HCI experts, including Professor Matt Jones. And where better to research than in the beautiful and inspiring surroundings of the Gower in Wales, UK.

As well as performing world-class HCI research, the FIT Lab runs PhD, MSc and MRes programs.

Merry Christmas

15 December 2011

Before we all leave for Christmas break we can reflect on a year’s worth of achievements which include countless research papers and conference trips. We have participated in numerous project meet-ups and have been involved in the organisation of several workshops including the all new workshop on NUIs 4 development at CHI 2012!

This year we have also seen Matt Jones become the new Head of Department and several FIT Lab students finish their degree schemes. We have said goodbye to a few members of our group and welcomed some new faces too.

We have also been successful in achieving yet another grant for the department – Matt’s new £1.2 million grant on `Scaling the Rural Enterprise’ which involves collaboration with IBM India, Microsoft Research India and Nottingham’s Mixed Reality Lab!

All in all it has been a good year for the FIT Lab – Merry Christmas and all the best for 2012!
