The research group focuses on the global technological, social and infrastructural trends in the field of mobility. Through complex speculative design projects the lab challenges the role of an automobile and its possible transformation into a new living and working environment. New technologies, such as virtual reality enable better prototyping and user testing to gain and verify the best user experience. The goal of the laboratory is to contribute to human-centered research in the field of in-car HMI, automotive interior design, mobility services, alternative means of transport and wearable electronics. Equipped with a modular mixed reality seatbox, the lab enables dynamic car interior simulation and testing of different mobility scenarios.
