About the Media Interaction Lab

The Media Interaction Lab is the leading austrian research lab in the area of Human-Computer Interaction. As part of the Department for Interactive Media of the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria in Hagenberg, the Lab integrates research and education, providing students with a project-based learning environment. Both undergraduate, graduate and PhD students from our University and abroad carry out projects in the lab. Students can undertake projects in the lab as part of their studies or alternatively work in the lab as an extracurricular activity. Currently, the lab is working on a range of projects in collaboration with industry and academia.
Over the past six years, the research group has mainly focused on exploring the potential of Interactive Environments as a medium for dramatic experience. The lab’s research has three main focuses: exploring novel interface technologies, developing new interaction techniques, and evaluating user interfaces. Moreover, the Lab sets a high value on human-centered design and developing more than simple prototypes, but systems people can experience “hands-on”.
Currently, the lab hosts 4 PhD students and over 10 graduate students which are working on over 15 projects in cooperation with over 20 industrial and academic partners.
