SUPSI IDLab researches and develops educational models that explore the convergence of technology and design via prototyping, the integration of bottom-up innovation models and community-driven approaches in design research and education.
The Laboratory of Visual Culture/Interaction Design Lab is the design research unit of SUPSI, the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland. The laboratory applies interactive design methods and a human-centred design perspective to develop research projects focusing on people's experiences mediated by the internet and digital technologies. LCV IDLab leads social innovation projects related to environmental sustainability and energy consumption, and international programs on interaction design, physical computing, open design, DIY electronics, digital fabrication, data visualisation, interactive cinema and computational design.
