pIT - The Pervasive Interaction Technology Lab
A Biologist using the eLabBench for Laboratory Experiments.
This is the home page for the Pervasive Interaction Technology Laboratory - the pIT - at the IT University of Copenhagen. The lab hosts a wide range of research activities within Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), and Ubiquitous Computing run by the faculty of the IT University of Copenhagen and collaborating institutions. The lab contains various hardware and software technologies and has a number of Members and hosts a number of Research Projects. Lab meetings are Wednesday at 13-14 where we and our visitors give different pIT Talks.
If you are a student associated with ITU and wants to do a master's thesis within Pervasive Computing Technology, see our list of Student Project Proposals for ideas, and at the Previous Student Projects for inspiration. Please contact the faculty listed for further information. If you're attending the Pervasive Computing 2011 course, there is a set of pITLAb resources available for the course.
Location: 3A.54 - also known as LAB 5
NEWS
- Two of our paper have been accepted for CHI 2012
- Jakob E. Bardram, Sofiane Gueddana, Steven Houben, Søren Nielsen. ReticularSpaces: Activity-Based Computing Support for Physically Distributed and Collaborative Smart Spaces.
- Aure ́lien Tabard, Juan David Hincapie ́-Ramos, Jakob E. Bardram. The eLabBench in the Wild – Supporting Exploration in a Molecular Biology Lab.
- The technical report on Mesh Mobs - Virtual Augmented Crowds has been released. This is the main research outcome of the visit by Tim Kindberg, and the report holds a lot of ideas and inspiration for creating ad-hoc network support for crowds. On the Projects page, we have listed several project ideas associated with this research, and if you're interested please contact one of the supervisors listed.
