Design for Experience in Yonsei (DEY) Lab
사용자경험디자인 연구실
Design for Experience in Yonsei (DEY) lab aims at designing more convenient, pleasant, meaningful, and valuable experience in interacting with technology. Our research and teaching unifies the areas of human-computer interaction and user experience. Depending on the research objective, we employ different approaches including empirical, theoretical, design-driven ways of generating and experimenting knowledge. We are interested in both the product and the process of user experience design and focused on designing, building, and evaluating computational artifacts based on a deep understanding of users. Ultimately, we believe that a well-thought technology can truly help people communicate with each other.
DEY 연구실에서는 보다 편리한, 즐거운, 의미있는 사용자 경험을 위한 연구를 수행합니다. HCI/UX의 기본 과정인 리서치 -> 디자인/개발 -> 평가에걸친연구를통해인간과기술간의상호작용을탐구하고 지속적인 디자인 혁신을 시도합니다. 인간에 대한 깊은 이해를 바탕으로AR/VR, IoT. AI등의 새로운 기술이 궁극적으로 사람 간의 소통을 도울 수 있다고 믿으며 이를 구체화해 나가는 과정을 연구합니다.
