Other Research Areas

Other Research Areas

  • Dr. Wisniewski and the students in her STIR Lab have produced a diverse portfolio of socio-technical research that spans multiple topics within the field of Human-Computer Interaction. Here are some of the other research areas in which they have engaged:

Novel Interaction Modalities

The STIR Lab works closely with Dr. Joseph LaViola, Dr. Charlie Hughes, and Dr. Greg Welch and their students, who conduct HCI research on novel and interactive technologies, such as virtual and augmented reality.
