Critical Alarms Lab

The Critical Alarms Lab (CAL) is an initiative of the TU Delft Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering and aims to shape the future of product-user interactions in complex environments through audible, visual and haptic information design. Some examples of such complex environments are Intensive Care Units, Control Rooms for Air Traffic, Nuclear Plants, Space Operations, and Autonomous Cars. With the help of an enthusiastic and international team that have their roots in both fundamental research and embodiment of ideas, CAL brings together multidisciplinary knowledge, practical tools, design methods, prototyping facilities, testing platforms, and an active discussion environment at the disposal of students, participating companies, and researchers.
